Journals need to charge the author a contribution fee, because in the course of operation, considering the cost, they can charge the author a certain paper editing fee according to the specific situation, including editing fee, that is, the fee charged to ensure the recovery of periodical printing cost. However, at present, most domestic journals require authors to pay the review fee when submitting manuscripts, which is very unreasonable. Academic circles should strongly call for standardizing the payment time of peer review fees, and it is strictly forbidden for journals to confiscate the peer review fees paid by authors after the editors have passed the preliminary examination.
