\u2026 except I didn’t say “fudge”<\/p>\n

“Get Me Off Your F—ing Mailing List” is an actual science paper accepted by a journal<\/a><\/p>\n

They don’t say fudge in the paper, either.<\/p>\n

There are a bunch of journals out there, many advertising themselves as “open access” that will print basically anything \u2014 for a fee. Many claim to be peer-reviewed, as does the International Journal of Advanced Computer Technology<\/a><\/em>, who accepted the paper.<\/p>\n

IJACT \u2026 is a highly-selective, refereed journal. Manuscripts that appear in the IJACT Articles section have been subjected to a tiered review process. This includes blind review by three or more members of the international editorial review board followed by a detailed review by the IJACT editors.Although feedback ordinarily will be given, the editors reserve the right to reject a manuscript for publication without a rationale for their decision.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh, really? A reviewer marked its appropriateness as “excellent”<\/a>. It was accepted; the only reason it wasn’t published was that the submitter didn’t want to pony up the $150 it would have taken.<\/p>\n

The article chronicles other deliberately substandard submissions that were submitted to, and often accepted by, similar journals. Their sleaziness can’t be blamed on Schwartz.<\/p>\n
