| Jun 19, 2017 at 3:40 | comment | added | curious | @PLL Especially that the question may be hypothetical. I find many users often confuse judging a question's worth vs. judging the asker's behaviors. I think it's a totally worthwhile question for any new academic. | |
| Jun 18, 2017 at 17:47 | comment | added | sgf | @J.FabianMeier There are academics that do all their academic work in their working hours? | |
| Jun 18, 2017 at 11:21 | comment | added | J Fabian Meier | I know that in academia most people feel obliged to do this unpaid work for a for-profit company (at least, most journals are published by companies). This normally cuts into your research, teaching, department work etc. so at least indirectly, this puts a burden onto your employer because you have less time for other tasks. And yes, of course, you also help other researchers by commenting on their work, but this could also be done in a thousand other ways than through journals. | |

Most of the time, doing review work is wholly unimportant to promotion and tenure decisions. Your own research, teaching, and service on department/university committees are the overwhelming factors. Doing reviews is seen simply as an act of good manners, in the form of reciprocating a favor the rest of the community has done for you. The current system continues to exist mostly because of momentum; not because it's what we've been paid to do. | |
| Jun 18, 2017 at 7:52 | comment | added | J Fabian Meier | A journal is a business, like a bank or a shop. There are a lot of people writing reviews without being paid by the journal (they usually use their normal working hours for that, so they get paid by their university). So I don't like all this "unethical behaviour" answers. Nevertheless, you piss off some people and that might be worse than the low impact factor. | |

| Jun 17, 2017 at 10:26 | comment | added | PLL | I really don’t see why this question is getting so many downvotes. Yes, the thing its asking about is considered highly unethical — so that’s the answer to the question. But it’s not unreasonable for an inexperienced academic to be unaware of that: consider that similar things in other areas (e.g. “Can I withdraw my job application if I get an offer for a better job?”) are not considered unethical at all. | |

| Jun 15, 2017 at 20:21 | comment | added | Nick S | The reputation you get by publishing in a higher impact factor journal will probably not compensate for the negative reputation this move might bring... | |
| Jun 15, 2017 at 20:07 | comment | added | Paul Gowder | You don't. That's outrageous behavior. | |
| Jun 15, 2017 at 18:49 | comment | added | Dikran Marsupial | The golden rule is a good guide to academic ethics (treat others as you would wish to be treated if you were in their place). If you were the editor or reviewers at the first journal, how would you feel about your time (spent on a voluntary basis) being wasted? | |
