In relation to KE, JISC and Symplectic.co.uk who plagiarized Open Access Monitor research
to obtain public funding
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION:
what is the process to become a partner in the initiative?
- where and when were the activities/initiatives advertised?
- why was I not invited?
- How were the workshops and other activities funded?
- who wrote the funding proposals?
- why was my research not cited?
- How can I make sure that my research, papers and prototypes used without attribution as the basis for Open Access Monitoring initiatives, are actually acknowledged and cited?
- how can be involved in future developments and activities?
CASE STATEMENT
I read with interest about EU funded res4arch activities in Open Access Monitoring
http://www.knowledge-exchange.info/event/oa-monitoring
I am the first scholar who published doctoral research in Open Access Monitoring in 2012, and my research (method, papers, tools) has provided the rationale and justification for a host of initiatives, companies, software, funding proposals, but I have seen no citation nor reference to my work which pioneered the field
See some references pasted below-
I was not invited to participate in the workshops and research organised by Knowledge Exchange.
I am writing to learn more about the rationale for inviting partners to the initiative
- what is the process to become a partner in the initiative? where and when/where the activities advertised? why was I not invited?
- How were the workshops and other activities funded?
who wrote the funding proposals?
- how can be involved in future developments.
- what kind of legal entity is knowledge-exchange and is it affiliated to JISC? (shares the same postal address)
Thank you, best regards
