Makes one wonder what other "research" was published.

There is a finite chance that a text generator could come up with the next medical breakthrough.
OK, OK, it's a kinda small chance. But it's a chance.

Damnit! I should have known it was too good to be true. I thought that medical journal was enlightened enough to see the genius of my article about using a topical application of goose crap to cure pimples. So, they just wanted the five hundred bucks. I hope they get a big zit right before the prom.

The article is entitled "Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs?" and its authors are the venerable Pinkerton A. LeBrain and Orson Welles. Pinky and the Brain, eh?

For a moment I thought we were reading about the BLS or the Commerce Department.

Great post! So much on FR is about BS like this from people who want us to think they know anything, but are just opinion whores.

Well, now we know how easy it is to be grubered. Global warming, Obamacare, Benghazi, etc.
All from the “experts.”

Shrime decided to see how easy it would be to publish an article. So he made one up. Like, he literally made one up. He did it using www.randomtextgenerator.com. The article is entitled "Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs?" and its authors are the venerable Pinkerton A. LeBrain and Orson Welles. The subtitle reads: "The surgical and neoplastic role of cacao extract in breakfast cereals." Shrime submitted it to 37 journals over two weeks and, so far, 17 of them have accepted it. (They have not "published" it, but say they will as soon as Shrime pays the $500. This is often referred to as a "processing fee." Shrime has no plans to pay them.) Okay, that made me laugh!

But when Shrime looked up the physical locations of these publications, he discovered that many had very suspicious addresses; one was actually inside a strip club. So the Bada Bing is getting into publishing medical research papers!
I can somehow picture this...

If they will publish that Homosexuality is not a Mental Disorder, then yeah.
I can totally see how they would accept “Cuckoo for Coca Puffs”

I've said it for a long time:
Evolution and Global Warming are more alike than you might think.
The papers that support Evolution are peer-reviewed.
The papers that oppose Evolution are refused for peer review.
And does it matter? It's all politics and money.

I got it wrong. My guess was the article said cocoa puffs cause global warming and global warming will cause medical problems.
To: Cooter
The simple answer is that the journals are fake. I get emails every day from such journals, mostly based in India and China, asking me to submit my research. No serious researcher would publish in such a journal.
