"Frankenstein's Journal" is still a valid item in game, but not present in any of the loot tables.
In R&R there was a chance to find it in chests if your Forensics skill was > 30.
The loot generation code has changed significantly since then and my best guess is that it got lost in the shuffle.
My current recommendation is to add the FrankenJournal to the rare loot pool. This would put it in the same pool as the "Mallet and Stake", and the "Golem Manual". This could still appear outside of chests and removes the skill requirement but is pretty simple and straightforward. I couldn't find any other treasure items that have similar requirements that a fix could be based off of.
After reading through the code a bit more, it looks like rare items can only show up in chests, so in the proposed solution, the journal should only show up in chests.
