Scientific papers which where rejected by scientific journals sometimes are published on YouTube, if it is not worth it or not possible to update the scientific study to resubmit it.

These are sometimes published in PNAS. Scientists sometimes joke about that these are published in PNAS, which means as a joke «post nature and science):
