Stratosfear
“Here we see a somewhat phallic balloon-like structure which has presumably collapsed under low pressure. A “proboscis” is seen emerging from the left of the main cell which has two, nostril-like openings. At the top of the collapsed “balloon” is a sphincter-like opening.” – Milton Waiinright
With Random Precision
“These skeezy fraud-friendly journals do have their uses. Once a papermill finds them, the fakes are concentrated in one place, undiluted by genuine research results, allowing a clear picture to crystallise and delineate its papermill style.” – Smut Clyde
We don’t need no education, We don’t need no thought control
“Of course the sentient rubber-stamps guest-editing Special Issues on behalf of papermills would have accepted anything – they don’t give two tugs on a dead dingo’s dick about content ” – Smut Clyde
Bottom of the barrel: BatDolphin-based sparse fuzzy algorithm
“BatDolphin-based sparse fuzzy algorithm, cat swarm optimization, honey bees optimization, moth amalgamated elephant herding optimization, fitness sorted moth search algorithm, improved tunicate swarm optimization, lion algorithm, deer hunting optimization, various rider optimization schemes, grey wolf optimization, cuckoo search, and finally a bat algorithm. Such a zoo of names immediately raises suspicion, and for a good reason.” – Maarten van Kampen

Ancestral Vices, prophesying war
“My attention was first drawn to Blum, Febo & Badgaiyan for what was either a ground-breaking advance in scientific illustration, or an attempt to win the inaugural Cheese Promotion Cup” – Smut Clyde
