Their cause was no obstacle to hilarity however.
A total of 20 papers were submitted.
7 papers accepted -- 4 Published -- 3 Scheduled to be published in upcoming editions of the journals (now likely to be retracted after this exposure)
7 papers still in various stages of review, revision, re-submission, and re-review after feedback from the journals -- 1 Still undergoing its first review -- 2 Undergoing re-review after re-submission with edits prompted by feedback from the journals -- 4 "left hanging with no time to submit them to journals after rejection" (no time due to the disclosure of the project)
6 "retired as fatally flawed or beyond repair" -- A collection of not-yet-submitted/rejected/other papers?
Additionally:
4 invitations to peer-review other papers
1 paper gained special recognition for excellence
The project was only brought to a halt after another academic watchdog brought attention to the paper noted above for its "special recognition for excellence". Whether or not any/all of the 7 papers still in revision/re-submission/re-review would have been published is a matter of speculation, but at first glance it appears highly likely that a significant portion of the papers would have been eventually accepted.https://www.wsj.com/articles/fake-news-comes-to-academia-1538520950https://spectator.us/2018/10/grievance-studies/https://www.google.com/search?q=grievance+studies&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1A few excerpts... Quote:
This was an academic paper which proposed that: ‘the penis vis-à-vis maleness is an incoherent construct. We argue that the conceptual penis is better understood not as an anatomical organ but as a gender-performative, highly fluid social construct.’
Quote:
Among the accepted papers, my personal favorites include a “rambling poetic monologue of a bitter, divorced feminist, much of which was produced by a teenage angst poetry generator before being edited into something slightly more ‘realistic,’” and part of a chapter from Mein Kampf with academic buzzwords strategically subbed in.
Quote:
The author admits that “my own anthropocentric frame” makes it difficult to judge animal consent. Still, the paper claims dog parks are “petri dishes for canine ‘rape culture’ ” and issues “a call for awareness into the different ways dogs are treated on the basis of their gender and queering behaviors, and the chronic and perennial rape emergency dog parks pose to female dogs.”
Quote:
One of the trio’s hoax papers, published in April by the journal Fat Studies, claims bodybuilding is “fat-exclusionary” and proposes “a new classification . . . termed fat bodybuilding, as a fat-inclusive politicized performance.” Editor Esther Rothblum said the paper had gone through peer review, and the author signed a copyright form verifying authorship of the article. “This author put a lot of work into this topic,” she said. “It is an interesting topic, looking at weight and bodybuilding. So I am surprised that, of all things, they’d write this as a hoax. As you can imagine, this is a very serious charge.” She plans to remove the paper from the Fat Studies website.

Still, I think they had a valid point and satire is great for getting past the defenses.

"Dog queering behaviors"

This is serious though. Bitches get raped everyday. It must stop! Is ass sniffing now considered sexual ASSault?
