The Journal of Rejections
The internet’s enabled a lot of innovation in models of scientific publishing, from the age-old arXiv pre-print depository, to open access journals like PLoS Biology and PLoS ONE, and journals like JoVE (the Journal of Visualized Experiments).
One relatively new journal that breaks pretty much every norm of scientific publishing, however, is Rejecta Mathematica, which only accepts manuscripts that have been rejected by peer-review elsewhere. (via Marginal Revolution) It’s tag-line is, hilariously, “Caveat Emptor,” and its logo is an amusing “not an element of” symbol. Now all we need is the Journal of Russell’s Paradoxes: it only contains papers that have been rejected from its own peer review process.
