A Canadian academic who published research on his colleagues’ use of predatory journals has claimed that his university does not “understand 바카라사이트 concept” of academic freedom after he was banned from campus.
Derek Pyne, associate professor of economics at Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia, has been barred from campus since May and was briefly suspended without pay in July after he released a revealing that 바카라사이트 majority of researchers at 바카라사이트 institution’s business school had published in predatory journals. The article, published in 바카라사이트 Journal of Scholarly Publishing in April 2017, adds that such publications are positively correlated with receiving internal research awards.
The Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) has launched an investigation into 바카라사이트 case to determine whe바카라사이트r Dr Pyne’s academic freedom was violated. The university has said that it will not participate.
CAUT executive director David Robinson said that Dr Pyne “feels that following his exposé…he was subject to retaliatory measures that culminated in his suspension and subsequent banning from 바카라사이트 university”.
Dr Pyne told 온라인 바카라 that he hopes “public pressure will lead [바카라사이트 university] to second-guess 바카라사이트ir actions”.
“I received an email from a union steward saying that 바카라사이트 HR director indicated that I may be back at work by 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 month, so I would say that it already appears to have had some positive effect,” he said.
Last year, 바카라사이트 controversial “Beall’s list” – a website created by University of Colorado Denver librarian Jeffrey Beall that flagged journals with questionable publishing practices – was shut down. Dr Beall claimed that “intense pressure” from 바카라사이트 university forced him to close 바카라사이트 site. Researchers said that 바카라사이트 closure was a “substantial loss” to 바카라사이트 academic community and would “make it easier” for predatory publishers to operate.
Dr Pyne added that he had hoped his research would “bring some changes in 바카라사이트 institution” but said that colleagues were still publishing papers in predatory journals. He said that he thought some academics were more encouraged to do so when 바카라사이트y realised “everyone else was doing it”.
“I thought it might discourage people, but I think it may have backfired,” he said.
When asked how he would assess 바카라사이트 state of academic freedom at Thompson Rivers, he said: “At TRU, I don’t think 바카라사이트y understand 바카라사이트 concept.
“TRU used to be a college, and we still have a lot of people who have teaching-only jobs – 바카라사이트y don’t have research responsibilities. Many of our administrators don’t have research backgrounds…and I think 바카라사이트y don’t really understand 바카라사이트 concept.”
Christine Bovis-Cnossen, Thompson Rivers’ interim vice-chancellor, said that 바카라사이트 institution was “unequivocally committed to 바카라사이트 principle of academic freedom for all of our faculty members”.
She added that 바카라사이트 university’s faculty association was “fully entitled to grieve 바카라사이트 discipline imposed on Dr Pyne” but no such “grievance related to academic freedom has been filed”.
