I think we should all submit work to this journal.

If you enjoyed that, you might also enjoy reading the question to Douglas Adam’s Universal Problem Solution: 42. Adams himself never gave the full queston.

Enjoy,

I’m in the Microwave/radar biz, and occasionaly get asked to “peer review” some very iffy papers. Even if I say “this is complete crap, it would be an embarrasment ot run it” they always seem to get printed and the reason as you point out is vanity fees. While some orgs like IEEE are not a problem, there are plenty of slick looking journals out there that aren’t worth the bandwidth. There are also some cases of Chomskybot papers getting into computer science conferences, these seem like pranks but point out flaws in our system of judgeing acedemic work.
