In general, publishers do not monetarily compensate authors and reviewers for their editorial or published work. Instead, scholars are expected to give out their work for free (or a token payment) to academic publishers, in exchange for their help in disseminating the scholar’s findings across the scientific community. The primary incentive for authors or reviewers is, then, the dissemination of their research. Dissemination enhances the researcher’s reputation, and their prospects of maintaining or improving their position in the academic job ladder. It also increases their impact on the scientific community.
This is the territorializing or the mapping of knowledge what scholarship does.
