Bonus points (BPs) for when you get entire sentences full of abbreviations (SFOA). Even more BPs when you get SFOA with abbreviations containing abbreviations within them (SWACAWT). I really hate SWACAWTs.

I call BS, there's not enough room for this sort of detail, you'd get 'as described previously in [1-4, 9, 84, 86, 150-160, unpublished observations]' half of which are unaccessible journals, out of print book chapters, and abstracts in German

I only encountered once, but when it happened I had to realize how old science field may have been different. The exact detail I was looking for should be in [20] ... but "[20] to be published" (presumably by the same author). I couldn't find any papers by author's name other than that but the author was so sure getting published.

My favorite is recursive bad citations in the method section. As in, citing a paper that cited a previous paper that itself cited a previous paper that cited an abstract with no detailed methodology whatsoever, leaving the true methods a mystery unless you get the senior author to reply to emails.

Goddamn it, why is academia so indecipherable and yet so relatable??

[-] cro_magnon_gilf@sopuli.xyz 39 points 8 months ago

Yes... different field... surely

[-] amda@feddit.nl 22 points 8 months ago

More like subfield... Or subsubfeild... Paper you didn't write?

[-] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 18 points 8 months ago

Implying you understand the papers you wrote.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 5 points 8 months ago

Implying that you understand how to write.

[-] ZJBlank@lemmy.world 35 points 8 months ago

Ah yes, the two genders: erect and flaccid

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

I don't care how erect you think you are! You were born flaccid and we raised you flaccid!

[-] outer_spec@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 8 months ago

These gliberals with their new genders… back in my day greebles only had two genders, PLOK and GLIP!!!

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago

First they take the dingle bop and they smooth it out with a bunch of shleem.

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

But why did they cut the fleeb?

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

My best guess is that when they cut the fleeb, it makes more fleebs, which they can then use to make more plumbuses (plumbi?)

[-] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 8 months ago

Is this a real paper? Please tell me it is.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 70 points 8 months ago

I forgot to link. Thanks for the reminder. It's actually in several papers as a known methodology!

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

AI video and content creator? Not sure why it’s on a meme/still image. Not familiar with it.

[-] Granixo@feddit.cl 8 points 8 months ago

I see Baby Yoda in a few of these.

[-] Magnetar@feddit.de 5 points 8 months ago

I thought all of them are Yodas, some with a boner.

Different field? More like a different child field of my root field

[-] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Different child field? This is like my first two read-throughs of a new paper in my own specialization!
