 ... and buy articles for US$19.90 each.  Rather obscure articles,
 e.g., "Exact Minimization Of Esop Expressions With Less Than Eight
 Product Terms."  "From Circuits To Neurofuzzy Networks: Synthesis
 By Numerical And Linguistic Information."

 Hmm, synthesis by numerical and linguistic information = written
 project specs with some verbal clarification?

 Rather obscure journal (e.g., not in Harvard's extensive library
 system, which includes "Journal of Chromatography B" and "Journal
 of Circadian Rhythms" then on to "Journal of Classification" and
 "Journal of Climate," skipping this Journal of Circuits, Systems
 and Computers).  Expensive, $443 for six issues.  I thought that
 electronic journals were supposed to be free, supported by author
 page charges?


 Thanks,

What kind of editors do they have, that pass "Less Than Eight" rather
than "Fewer Than Eight"? In a title, no less! For that kind of money,
I would expect at least basic literacy.

I wouldn't bother to read any of these articles if they were free,
which they aren't. That last title is especially ludicrous.

There is a theorem, generally attributed to Solomon Golomb,
which says that given any paper P, there exists a journal J that
will accept it for publication.

There was a recent commentary in Physics Today about the incredible
proliferation of journals and books that are full of obscure and
mediocre stuff, barely referreed if at all. Most of these journals
both charge a lot to receive them and charge the authors "page fees"
to be published. So basicly, you buy your way out of the "publish or
perish" dilemma. The proportion of journal articles that are never
cited is growing rapidly. 

I recall the PT article as saying that there are something like
200,000 academic journals in existance now.

Not only are they worthless, most are written by grad. assistances who 
get low position credit while their profs. get first position credit. 
But the profs. get their count so they can get and keep tenure.
