This post summarizes findings of a paper called "'Bosom peril' is not 'breast cancer': How weird computer-generated phrases help researchers find scientific publishing fraud" in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. What's happening here is that plagiarists are using word substitution to avoid detection, and that academic journals and books are publishing the gibberish that results. Oh, and "For readers not from the relevant fields, 'PSNR' would normally be 'peak signal to noise ratio' rather than 'pinnacle flag to clamor proportion'".
