The hoax was coined against predatory journals: http://www.nature.com/news/predatory-journals-recruit-fake-editor-1.21662 Xx236 ( talk) 09:05, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
My favourite example of a predatory journal falling for a hoax article was the much-ridiculed (see, for example, Kathryn Krawczyk's April 15 2020 piece What's the deal with birds? This magnificent scientific paper examines) paper "What's the Deal with Birds?" published in the Scientific Journal of Research and Reviews in April 2020. I see it has been entirely deleted from the record by its publisher, Iris Publishers, which just goes to show that they can't even retract an article in the correct (i.e. honest and transparent) way.

This case does not sound like a sting to expose credulous or predatory reviewers. It is a simple financial 'sting.' Should it be included here? Tfdavisatsnetnet ( talk) 22:10, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
