This has been my experience. There's still some reputable journals out there, but you have to be really careful. It's amazing though how much absolute BS there is out there in academic papers. I've read so many that started interesting and then as soon as you get into the methods you realize it's all just air. The worst part is, if you don't have a handle on statistics and a fairly high degree of scientific literacy, they really DO look ok (polished even!) at first glance.
