If so, I don't see anything particularly bad in paying for something like reading and summarising papers, which can be useful and easy to assess. What would be bad is paying for some arbitrary result, like getting something published in a journal: such prizes cause all sorts of issues in China and India. Consider paying to put the summaries in cc-by-sa in some place like Wikipedia or pubpeer where they're useful and reviewed. | |
