Remember this controversy? I don't believe it proved the entire field of Computer Science to be a fraud... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Journal_of_Advanced_Computer_Technology?wprov=sfla1 …

Yeah. I chased down the vita of the reviewing editor and it's...odd.

I am not following super closely but heard they were referred to pay-to-play by real journal, which is not good but not as bad as 1st seemed
-
Yeah, I read that as a "please go away, crazy people" move.

I’m slightly aggrieved by the authors’ failure on this. It’s persistently bugging me. Why put so much effort into a misfire? Grump grump.
-
the fun answer would be "false flag!" but I don't really believe that.
-
less fun but more likely: they really expected it would get into the better journal they tried first, and then they were in salvage mode
-
Well, if so, I think they ought to have disclosed that. Ah, hmm, wait:http://dailynous.com/2017/05/20/gender-studies-member-conceptual-penis-hoax/ …

yeah... seems to me where they slipped was not properly vetting the alternate that the first journal recommended to them.
-
and if the alternate is a junk journal, the fact that the first one recommended it IS a legitimate criticism of that first journal.
-
So, turns out there’s quite a lot of discussion of this in the blogosphere and on twitter…
-
And after reading the top five posts, I think the skeptics fucked up pretty badly. Wasted opportunity and makes them look bad.
