Starting from the question: What do evaluators gain if they conduct a peer review? This article begins by explaining the relevance of this process for scientific publishing, describing its importance and associated challenges, which allow establishing that this editorial process is in crisis for various reasons, mainly because of the level of specialization it requires, the conditions that a reviewer should ideally meet, and the lack of experts available and willing to carry out this work, which is usually voluntary. From this context, the answer to this question is presented under three sections related to the possible remuneration and compensation modalities that may exist for researchers who carry out such activity, which can represent some attractive rewards and encourage conducting reviews, but are not exempt from debates and controversies that must be carefully considered journal editors: 1) moral recognition and personal enrichment; 2) remuneration in kind; and 3) the strange case of paying for peer reviews.
