It is the journal of the International Society for the Study of Individual Differences. I've never heard of them, but there must be hundreds of psychology societies. They are at http://issid.org/ They have published a number of papers by Richard Lynn. They don't seem to be embarrassed. I mean, if it had happened once, you could write it off as a Sokal-type error in editing, but multiple times?
Ah, I see why. Lynn is on the Editorial board. And it's funded by the "H. J. Eysenck Memorial Fund." Eysenck was several distinct kinds of nutter at once: racist, parapsychologist, eugenics freak, Big on measured general intelligence, right-wing raving elitist, and he thought psychotherapy could cure cancer, and I won't even get into his research on smoking.
Elsevier should be embarrassed.
Richard Lynn is... also embarrassing. He is at best one of those nutters obsessed by IQ, like Murray and Hernstein. At worst, he's a racist with a PhD and the kind of scientific vocabulary that can make racism seem plausible.
