Related: About this forumBogus Journal Accepts Profanity-Laced Anti-Spam Paper
I particularly enjoy the even more bogus referee "report" given the contents of the paper...
The International Journal of Advanced Computer Technology has accepted for publication a manuscript that was first written in 2005 to protest spam conference invitations. The paper contains the F-word throughout the manuscript....
The original paper (selection above) was written by David Mazières and Eddie Kohler and is entitled Get me off your fg mailing list. It is available here.
After receiving a spam email from the International Journal of Advanced Computer Technology, Dr. Peter Vamplew of Federation University Australias School of Engineering and Information Technology sent the anti-spam article as a reply to the spam email without any other message, expecting that they might open it and read it, but not that it would be considered for publication.
To his surprise, the journal accepted the paper and sent him an acceptance email that had two PDF attachments. One was a formal statement of acceptance and the second was the reviewer report.
