I am a research bioinformatician, cryptographer and computer scientist and I will say a lot of papers are word salad even in the fields that I I have expertise in
One of the best examples of this is in cryptography.

publishing in the land of theory is exactly where cryptographers and sociologists and everybody who doesn't want to actually get things done ... loves to live
