Comment Comment by sampo > Those numbers can't be right, honestly.Just a very rough calculation: If Nature has a staff of around 150 [1], each paid $100,000 year, 50 issues per year, 20 research articles per issue. This gives150 times 100,000/(50 times 20) = $15,000 per article.My numbers are probably off in more than one way.[1] https://www.nature.com/nature/about/journal-staff parent sampo 8 years ago
