A Paper By Maggie Simpson and Edna Krabappel Was Accepted By Two Journals

Posted by samzenpus on from the simpsons-already-did-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A scientific study by Maggie Simpson, Edna Krabappel, and Kim Jong Fun has been accepted by two journals. Of course, none of these fictional characters actually wrote the paper, titled "Fuzzy, Homogeneous Configurations." Rather, it's a nonsensical text, submitted by engineer Alex Smolyanitsky in an effort to expose scientific journals — the Journal of Computational Intelligence and Electronic Systems and the Aperito Journal of NanoScience Technology."

    Relatively accurate. It's about the same as "racist nonsense published on right-wing 'news' site."

    The journals they got the stuff into are about as reliable and factual as, say, youngcons or breitbart.
