    Abstract:Rickrolling is an Internet cultural phenomenon born in
    the mid 2000s. Originally confined to Internet fora, it has
    spread to other channels and media. In this paper, we hypothesize
    that rickrolling has reached the formal academic world. We design
    and conduct a systematic experiment to survey rickrolling in the
    academic literature. As of March 2022, there are 23 academic
    documents intentionally rickrolling the reader. Rickrolling
    happens in footnotes, code listings, references. We believe that
    rickrolling in academia proves inspiration and facetiousness,
    which is healthy for good science. This original research
    suggests areas of improvement for academic search engines and
    calls for more investigations about academic pranks and humor.
