Charge for peer reviewing

چکیده
“There’s no such thing as a free lunch” is an adage described over one century ago, which became popular by Professor Milton Friedman, in 1975. It came to my mind when reading the interesting editorial by Pasternak and Glina.(1,2) Working on both sides, as an author of journals and a reviewer, I am aware of the importance of a good review. It is powerful to enhance the description of results in an article, in addition to highlighting its strengths and limitations, which are ultimately translated in improving articles of a certain journal. Many times I have felt grateful for the unknown hero – the reviewer – for the contribution made to a work I had submitted.
