I think you got it wrong. The compensation is exposure which is important for most academics.


“Exposure.” That’s what we tell interns and wannabe artists when we give them unpaid jobs or use their work for free. And that has become kind of frowned upon as of the last 5 years, so perhaps should doing massive amounts of work for free for a non-free-access publication.


A chapter in a crappy text is worthless for tenure, grants etc. It doesn't count at all for meeting your publication goals.
