Journal Information
Welcome to pseudoScience (the 'pseudo' is silent). We are a parody academic journal that publishes outstandingly medicore papers of little to no significance or relevance. Our humble yet utterly pointless journal is published by the Association for SudoScience (ASS).
​
All of the data in each article is, unfortunately, real. Why the authors decided to collect this data in the first place is beyond the scope of our understanding. And why our reviewers volunteer their time to peer review this data is even more dumbfounding.

Steve unfortunately pased away recently due to lead poisoning caused by the beige paint he studied. As the founding editor in chief of pseudoScience, he was tireless champion for pointless science. He published 1 whole article in this jounral during his tenure and made the Twitter account.
​
We are currently looking for a new editor in chief to fill Steve's massive shoes.

How to submit articles
pseudoScience loves to receive unsolicited articles. Satirical, zainy, punny, or just plain humorous--we'll publish at them all.
Email Kevin, the article submission monkey, with the manuscript files at pseudoscience.journal@gmail.com. Word is preferred because Kevin is allergic to latex.
Please limit your paper to 3 figures and 1000 words (the best jokes are visual and to the point). There's no required format for manuscript submissions, just do it in a way that would make sense to a below-average intelligence mammal.

How it works: When articles are submitted, we will post a notice for reviewers in the WhatsApp. Just respond if you would be interested in reviewing! There is no "quota" to fulfill, review whenever and whatever you want.
