Paying peer reviewers led to faster first editorial decisions — an average of 5.5 working days, down from nearly 38 for unpaid reviews. The review quality, as judged by handling editors on the basis of helpfulness in making an editorial decision, went up. 1/

Check out our new paper in @nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0…. We report genetic mechanisms of neural tube defects in patients. Spina bifida is also known as meningomyelocele (MM). Prior family-based and association studies found few linked genes, so we took a different approach.
