Ringer Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) I saw this paper today and the abstract alone hurts my head. I have no idea what is happening in it, and I have to ask myself "how the hell did the reviewers and editors let this through. Sage isn't exactly a great journal publisher, but wow. http://qix.sagepub.com/content/early/2013/07/11/1077800413489534.abstract If you can't get through the paywall here's a blog that covers the paper: http://bigthink.com/neurobonkers/is-this-the-most-bizarre-paper-ever-published-in-a-peer-reviewed-journal Edited August 15, 2013 by Ringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get the feeling that the knitting and the crocheting were accompanied by some model-airplane-building in an unventilated room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imatfaal Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Didn't Capt Ref write a program that generated poetry and I am sure I have seen a website that spouted "socio-critical thinking" claptrap - I reckon someone has written a program which generated pseudoacademic psycho-babble. And it has just passed Sage's version of the Turing test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tridimity Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Unless there is some kind of hidden meaning, I think the author may need to see a counsellor. Impact factor, Qualitative Investigation, 0.870 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
