Announcing 2025 Evaluator Incentives
At The Unjournal, we compensate experts for evaluating and rating research with impact potential. We committed to pay $450 per evaluation on average - including base pay, incentives, and prizes.
Today, we’re recognizing and rewarding evaluations we found particularly insightful and useful. You can view all of these within our PubPub collection.
The following evaluations were awarded incentive prizes of over $100:
