<div>Hi all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am passing on a question from a library in Australia:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;">"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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt;">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 <span style="font-family: Wingdings;">J</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“ </span></p>
