... and buy articles for US$19.90 each. Rather obscure articles,
e.g., "Exact Minimization Of Esop Expressions With Less Than Eight
Product Terms." "From Circuits To Neurofuzzy Networks: Synthesis
By Numerical And Linguistic Information."

Hmm, synthesis by numerical and linguistic information = written
project specs with some verbal clarification?

Rather obscure journal (e.g., not in Harvard's extensive library
system, which includes "Journal of Chromatography B" and "Journal
of Circadian Rhythms" then on to "Journal of Classification" and
"Journal of Climate," skipping this Journal of Circuits, Systems
and Computers). Expensive, $443 for six issues. I thought that
electronic journals were supposed to be free, supported by author
page charges?


Thanks,

What kind of editors do they have, that pass "Less Than Eight" rather
than "Fewer Than Eight"? In a title, no less! For that kind of money,
I would expect at least basic literacy.

There was a recent commentary in Physics Today about the incredible

mediocre stuff, barely referreed if at all. Most of these journals
both charge a lot to receive them and charge the authors "page fees"
to be published. So basicly, you buy your way out of the "publish or
perish" dilemma. The proportion of journal articles that are never
cited is growing rapidly.

I recall the PT article as saying that there are something like
200,000 academic journals in existance now.

Not only are they worthless, most are written by grad. assistances who
get low position credit while their profs. get first position credit.
But the profs. get their count so they can get and keep tenure.

In the USA there has been a lot of controversy about "out sourcing" or

sending jobs to other countries. Looks like perhaps the production of
academic papers in English has been outsourced also. :)

Note that this is not a comment on the value or competence of research
conducted not in the US.

Click to expand...
Possibly the usual kinds, as with the IEEE: Volunteer technical editors, and
production copy editors who dot "i"s and cross "t"s.

God help me if I defend "less than eight" countable objects, but archival
technical journals (I remember one or two noble exceptions, possibly the RSI
for example) are not about fine writing. Or rather to the extent that they
are, it's up to the authors. And a big problem is, the authors don't know
that. They read "can be shown to be caused by" and blindly emulate. This
recycles dreary, phony, embarrassing style habits. (I have experience
making a few style suggestions anonymously in refereeing for many years, but
again that is a spotty, volunteer effort, not built in to the process.)

No, you (the USA) just managed to make English the lingua franca of
academic papers. Or rather "bad English", as the original
English-publishing academic community in Oxbridge likes to say.

A few centuries ago, it was all Latin (very bad Latin, if you could have
asked Cicero). A few centuries in the future, who knows. Maybe we'll
still publish in English, while the majority of US American citicens
will speak Spanish or Mandarin.
