Why Search for Hidden Repeated Temporal Behavior Patterns: T-Pattern Analysis with Theme

Abstract

There have been some concerns that peer review is lacking in some science journals. Some of the predatory journals collect publishing fees without doing any peer review. Often, these will be newer open access journals. To make a point, one author submitted a spoof manuscript that led to predatory journals being caught in this stung.The absurd paper was based on a fake scientific study entitled “Mitochondria: Structure, Function, and Clinical Relevance.” Neuroskeptic (a blogger) wrote the paper and admitted to copying a Wikipedia entry on mitochondria and replacing “mitochondria” with “midi-chlorians” in the text. As true Star Wars fans will tell you, midi-chlorians are tiny intelligent life forms that live inside the cells of all living creatures. Midi-chlorians exist in symbiosis with their hosts. The Force speaks to people through midi-chlorians.
