The Daystrom Institute Journal, a.k.a. the Journal of Daystrom Institute, was a 24th century academic journal published by the Daystrom Institute. It was accessible aboard Federation starships in the late 2360s decade.
History and specifics[]
In the year 2368, Data read five articles from the journal during his database search for ways of detecting cloaked Romulan starships that had evaded a tachyon detection grid by traveling through a region saturated with tachyons. Two articles published in Volume 29, Issue 3 were called "Tachyon Decay in N-Dimensional Fields" and "Tachyon Propagation in Vogt Fields". Three other articles were titled "Classical Wave Theory of Kreitzman Fields", "Classical Wave Theory of Romulan Cloaking Fields", and "Wray Wave Theory of Tachyon Harmonics". After reviewing a few dozen journal articles, Data concluded that such a vessel would temporarily project high-energy tachyons into subspace, emissions that could be revealed with a level-six, high-energy burst from a photon torpedo. When the USS Sutherland fired such a torpedo, it exposed three hidden D'deridex-class warbirds that immediately withdrew. (TNG episode: "Redemption")
