[GOAL] Re: Any examples of journals charging non refundable fee for peer review?

[Kiley, Robert]

I don't think this quite addresses your question, but I note that PNAS charges an $1800 "publication fee".  See http://www.pnas.org/site/authors/fees.xhtml .  This is not an APC (that is a separate $1350 fee), or anything to do with colour and page charges (which are also charged separately).

Subject: [GOAL] Any examples of journals charging non refundable fee for peer review?

Hi all,

I am passing on a question from a library in Australia:

"I have recently become aware that some publishers and journals are charging authors a non-refundable fee to have their articles peer reviewed that is separate from the article processing charge.  I hadn't heard about this until one of our librarians mentioned it in passing.

I was wondering if anyone else had come across this (or whether I've just had my head in the sand and not noticed!), and if so, whether it is common.  Any examples would be great :)"
