This looks highly relevant; needs digesting into the article, ideally by someone who has experienced this first-hand but this is RW so whoever :-) - David Gerard (talk) 10:33, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

List[edit]

A list naming all pseudojournals from A to Z, or at least the 10-15 most "remarkable" ones, would be a great addition. — Unsigned, by: Squaredot / talk / contribs

We have the category. It's not even close to a complete list. Probably listing some would be good - David Gerard (talk) 21:05, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Missing: Motives / Money[edit]

It's critically important to point out why they exist, and how they are funded. Even "legit" scientific publications will put something crazy on their cover to entice readers, purchases, subscriptions, etc. and if their crazy thing turns out to be correct, they're the first. Usually they're wrong. And quietly corrected, if at all. Also, besides journals being funded by corporations, so too, now academics is being taken over by the corporatocracy with more and more influence to steer the disinformation. ~ JasonCarswell (talk) 21:12, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Videos[edit]

I'm sure there's specific related stuff on YouTube that may be of interest, but I know I saw a documentary that featured this real problem in academia. I don't think it was the whole show, but a good portion at least. I wish I could remember which show it was in, but it was likely BBC's Horizon or PBS's NOVA or very similar. If pressed I could look for it. ~ JasonCarswell (talk) 21:12, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
