Chapter 25 in Opening the Black Box of Editorship, 2008, pp 250-270 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The extrinsic rewards from editorial work can be erratic and disappointing. Even those who edit highly prestigious journals may find it difficult to persuade their deans to allocate resources to this activity, and their deans or department heads may advise them to publish more articles themselves instead of publishing articles by other authors. Those who receive payments from commercial publishers are likely to find that these payments translate into ludicrously low hourly wages. Those who edit journals published by their universities may hear their colleagues asking why resources are going to that specific field or topic rather than to other topics or fields.
