Fake Science Paper About 'Star Trek' and Warp 10 Was Accepted by 'Predatory Journals'

lkfitz's bookmarks 2018-02-13

Summary:

"The paper's author, a biologist for 30 years and a fan of "Star Trek," wrote up a research paper based on the "Voyager" episode. He submitted it to 10 open-access journals known or suspected of charging authors publication fees without providing the editorial services associated with legitimate journals, such as careful peer review and vetting of the paper's claims. Four accepted it, though only one, the American Research Journal of Biosciences, published the paper."
