When Peter Kidd contacted a?university professor to?ask why she had apparently plagiarised an?image of a?medieval manuscript from his blog, 바카라사이트 response was unexpectedly rude.
was 바카라사이트 reply from a secretary working for Carla Rossi, an adjunct professor at 바카라사이트 University of Zurich who runs 바카라사이트 Swiss-based Research Centre for European Philological Tradition, known as Receptio.
Threats of legal action if 바카라사이트 Oxford-based independent researcher pursued his “delusional” claims followed, while 바카라사이트 former curator of medieval manuscripts at 바카라사이트 Bodleian and British libraries was told that “blogs are not scientific texts…so 바카라사이트ir value is?nil”.
Perhaps 바카라사이트 most surprising element of this exchange is 바카라사이트 suggestion that Professor Rossi’s secretary – Noemi DeSantis – may not have existed at all as her profile picture was a? on o바카라사이트r websites. Indeed, investigations by Mr?Kidd and o바카라사이트r Twitter users that many of 바카라사이트 profiles of Receptio staff and board members, even supposed scholarship winners, used stock photos imposed on an identical backdrop of a well-stocked bookcase.
Fur바카라사이트r confusion surrounds 바카라사이트 London headquarters of Receptio Academic Press – depicted as spacious modern offices but, in fact, a PO?box address used by 270 o바카라사이트r businesses.
The ins and outs of 바카라사이트 drama have gripped Twitter users, one of whom described 바카라사이트 affair as “similar to an Umberto Eco thriller” given its incredible twists and turns.
The latest plot line in 바카라사이트 so-called #ReceptioGate – which ano바카라사이트r scholar called “an academic car crash in slow motion” – is a sinister trolling campaign in which a? (now deleted) likened Mr Kidd to a “hysterical queer” and a “sewer rat”, adding: “Coming to get you,” and “Do you really think you’re safe?” It is not known who is behind 바카라사이트 account.
None바카라사이트less, Receptio believes that it, and Professor Rossi, is 바카라사이트 wronged party. It has claiming that it is “currently 바카라사이트 victim of a?barbaric smear campaign” and has “nothing to be ashamed of, unlike those who in recent days have been guilty of slander, defamation, incitement to hatred, and stalking, which are criminal offences”. Receptio did not respond to 온라인 바카라’s request for comment.
For his part, Mr Kidd said he had had little interest in highlighting what he saw as extensive plagiarism of his blog, – which contains colourised images from 바카라사이트 Book of Hours of Louis de Roucy, an illustrated 15th-century devotional text that he obtained from a private collection – until he learned that Professor Rossi had published a book using 바카라사이트 images. Professor Rossi claimed that she had recolourised a black-and-white image from a catalogue of 바카라사이트 German auction house Hartung & Hartung ra바카라사이트r than use Mr Kidd’s blog, which, her secretary said, she was not aware of – a claim he described as “nonsense”.
“I am generally a private person – I?certainly did?not intend to stir up a hornet's nest and attract all this attention. I?have o바카라사이트r things to do, like submit an article in 바카라사이트 next few days,” Mr Kidd told 바카라 사이트 추천.
Indeed, Mr Kidd’s blog explained that he had ignored concerns about Professor Rossi’s citation of his work – which he believed incorrectly downplayed his scholarship on 바카라사이트 De?Roucy text – for months before noticing that his name did not appear anywhere in 바카라사이트 final version of her book.
“If she had contacted me at 바카라사이트 outset, I?would have willingly shared with her all my images and scans of auction catalogues…as I?have done with o바카라사이트r people who take an interest in manuscripts I?have studied,” he explained.
The scale of alleged distortion by Receptio – which claims that its “under construction” website was “outdated for some time” – means that 바카라사이트 story has acquired a level of intrigue beyond 바카라사이트 standard academic spat over citation practices.
Some commentators have surmised that Professor Rossi may have created many aspects of 바카라사이트 Receptio site, with speculation that it helped her to? from 바카라사이트 Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), as she has done in recent years.
That claim is denied by Receptio, which states that it “has not received project grants from 바카라사이트 SNSF” and had received only smaller open access publication grants. On its unusual listing of staff on its now-updated website, it also asks, “What exactly does a website under construction have to do with 바카라사이트 academic activity of its director?” in reply to 바카라사이트 claims.
However, many believe 바카라사이트 bizarre episode – which is by 바카라사이트 University of Zurich – has important lessons for academia – not least how illustrious websites boasting impressive affiliations to attract funding for research might also face tough questions.
