Well, I - with no appropriate qualification - have been published in a very prestigious American science journal - the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
About 10 years ago, I took a photograph at a village event and I used it to embellish a Wikipedia article on a tradition folk custom.
I decided to Google my name to see what kind of internet "footprint" I was leaving and there was a reference which meant nothing to me. I opened it and found that the activity my photograph had been used to provide an analogy of a particular process in nanotechnology. The PNAS correctly credited me with the photograph.
I shall add that paper to the (modest) list of my publications.
