The Mini Journal Of Irreproducible Results


The Journal of IR is a print journal which since 1955 has been
publishing irreproducible science humor from laboratories around the
world and elsewhere. They are co-sponsors of the Ig Nobel Prizes
(B&B v1#14). A typical issue features scientific papers like
"Measuring the Snail's Pace" and "The Dynamics of a Strapless Evening
Gown." And yes, they have an annual swimsuit issue, featuring some
distinguished scientist emerging from the surf somewhere. Oooh.
Anyway, they've gone online. Announcing a new electronic journal:


   The Mini-Journal of Irreproducible Results ("Mini-JIR")
   The Official Electronic Mini-Organ of
   The Society for Basic Irreproducible Research


Mini-JIR is produced jointly by The Journal of Irreproducible Results
(JIR) and The MIT Museum. First issue: November, 1993.  ISSN 1072-7159
