- cgh 4y agoHe did. She is a director of this Receptio publisher that published the plagiarized work: https://www.receptio.eu/scientificcomitee https://www.receptio.eu/scientificcomitee
- taormina 4y agoEveryone should. Not only the author of the post. Did you reach out?
- cbs481920 4y agoI emailed everyone listed on that page with a link to the blog post. Finding their email addresses is mostly straightforward, it's on their institutional pages most of the time. Note that one of them is deceased since 2021, which does make me wonder how relevant this list is now.
- the-rc 4y agoDid you see the other staff page? https://fr.receptio.eu/operationalstaff https://fr.receptio.eu/operationalstaff There's a Noemi, who seems to also moonlight as a stock photography model elsewhere: https://www.westend61.de/en/imageView/HOXF02297/portrait-happy-mature-woman-leaning-over-sofa-in-living-room https://www.westend61.de/en/imageView/HOXF02297/portrait-hap... (Some staff pictures might have been swapped by mistake, which... still says something, perhaps?) The bookshelf behind many of the "staff" appears to be itself from a stock photograph: https://www.eclectuals.com/literaryservices https://www.eclectuals.com/literaryservices The attorney himself might be a stock photo - they might have kept the original Italian description in the ALT tag: https://www.therrawreport.com/about-2 https://www.therrawreport.com/about-2
- adwi 4y agoImpressive detective work. How did you find these?
- the-rc 4y agoGood old reverse Google image search in Chrome...
- raphlinus 4y agoNice work finding this indeed! This sounds like it could become a nice story for Coffeezilla. It's increasingly looking to me like it's an outright scam. Strange that it's for such low stakes as academic prestige, usually they go straight for the money.
- Turing_Machine 4y agoThere's an old saying that academic disputes are so bitter because the stakes are so low.
- TheFlyingFish 4y agoThe image for Noemi appears to have been removed now: all I see is a generic abstract pattern. Looks like a PowerPoint slide background or something.
- the-rc 4y agoYeah, that is puzzling. The image can still be found through Google search and is still hosted on the site, just unlinked: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/494184_29da2642a38540ef8e9848655d28cf1e~mv2.jpg/v1/crop/x_12,y_22,w_396,h_476/fill/w_475,h_571,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_auto/noemi-removebg-preview_edited.jpg https://static.wixstatic.com/media/494184_29da2642a38540ef8e... Who knows what's going on.
