The Journal of Starfleet Technology was a 24th century academic journal accessible aboard Federation starships in the late 2360s decade.
History and specifics[]
In the year 2368, Data read four articles in 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. The articles were called "Symmetries of Aguilar Fields in Cloaking Phenomena", "Bivens Scattering Fields in Cloaking Phenomena", "Observed Tachyon Properties in Berndt Fields", and "Symmetries of Debroglie Fields in Cloaking Phenomena". 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")
