    Biologist gets a fake Star Trek paper accepted by 4 dodgy science journals

    I maintain that the JSCR would have happily published this paper.

    Why write a paper when you can have a program generate one from buzzwords?

    The Swedish literary scene had something similar, uh, 70 years ago when the poetry collection Camera Obscura (1946) was widely accepted as a legitimate collection. Turned out to be a parody written by students. Oops. Don't think we've had a slip up like that ever since. Unless you count the feminist criticism, of course, which I don't and no scholars do. The big thing now is "ecocriticm" anyway where the focus has gone away from oppressed minorities and onto the environment. People worth their stuff care more about essays rather than journals or articles anyway, so there's hardly ever a concern about what gets published where.

    I love the fact that when the first of the Flashman Papers was published it was often reviewed as a real autobiography.

    "When the novel was published in the US the same year, of the 34 reviews read by Alden Whitman of The New York Times, ten of them considered the book to be a genuine autobiography"
