Research Paper based on Threshold accepted into scientific journals

Post by Fuzzy Necromancer »

Somebody made a research paper about "Rapid Genetic and Developmental Morphological Change Following Extreme Celerity" by Doctor Lewis Zimmerman, and thanking the United Federation of planets, and it got published in scientific journals.

That is hilarious. :) It should probably be noted that it was accepted by journals (plural) but only published by one. The predatory journals are a problem for academics, but, on the other hand, the stings are often pretty funny.
