Seven Science Journals Have A Dog On Their Editorial Board

An anonymous reader writes:
A professor of health policy at Australia’s Curtin University got seven different science journals to put his dog on their editorial board. The dog is now associate editor for the Global Journal of Addiction & Rehabilitation Medicine, and sits on the editorial board of Psychiatry and Mental Disorders. The professor says he feels sorry for one researcher who recently submitted a paper about how to treat sheath tumors, because “the journal has sent it to a dog to review.” The official profile of the dog lists its research interests as “the benefits of abdominal massage for medium-sized canines” and “avian propinquity to canines in metropolitan suburbs.”

An Australian news site points out that career-minded researchers pay up to $3,000 to get their work published in predatory journals so they can list more publications on their resumes. “While this started as something lighthearted,” says the dog-owning professor, “I think it is important to expose shams of this kind which prey on the gullible, especially young or naive academics and those from developing countries.”
