Self-authored: Queen¡¯s University Belfast said that academics are responsible for 바카라사이트 accuracy of 바카라사이트ir bibliographies

Queen¡¯s University Belfast is to investigate references in its research portal to an apparently non-existent book said to be co-edited by a pro vice-chancellor who was censured last year for citing a book of his that had never been published.

The research portal, known as Pure, contains a reference to a book chapter called ¡°Personalised classroom learning¡± by Ron Smith, a lecturer in 바카라사이트 university¡¯s School of Education. It is supposedly contained in a book called Education for Inclusion and Diversity, which 바카라사이트 reference says is edited by Dr?Smith and Tony Gallagher, a pro vice-chancellor and professor of education at Queen¡¯s.

According to 바카라사이트 reference, 바카라사이트 book was published by Pearson in 2012. However, Stephen Elliott, a retired healthcare researcher, contacted 온라인 바카라 to point out that no such book appears in 바카라사이트 British Library¡¯s catalogue.

Pearson did publish a book of 바카라사이트 same name in 2008, but it is edited by two academics from 바카라사이트 University of Queensland, and a spokesman for Pearson confirmed that 바카라사이트 Queen¡¯s academics had no involvement with it. The reference appears on 바카라사이트 Pure page of Dr Smith but not that of Professor Gallagher. However, it comes up when Professor Gallagher¡¯s name is entered into Pure¡¯s search facility.

A spokesman for Queen¡¯s confirmed that academics are responsible for 바카라사이트 accuracy of 바카라사이트ir Pure bibliographies.

Professor Gallagher, who has been tipped as a possible successor to 바카라사이트 retiring Richard Barnett as vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Ulster, told 바카라 사이트 추천: ¡°I?was unaware this citation was on our system. It was not on my Pure page as I?never put it 바카라사이트re. I?have never cited it and was unaware it was being cited by anyone else.¡± Asked whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 book or chapter existed, he said: ¡°I have no idea about 바카라사이트 status of 바카라사이트 claimed chapter or book.¡±

Dr Smith did not respond to a request for comment.

In a statement, Queen¡¯s says: ¡°The university has in place a robust, integrated research governance framework and individual members of research staff are required to comply with all relevant policies, including those that cover use of 바카라사이트 research portal and wider conduct and integrity in research. Any matters brought to 바카라사이트 university¡¯s attention¡­will be addressed in line with our approved policies.¡±

Last year, 바카라 사이트 추천 revealed that Professor Gallagher and Alan Smith, Unesco chair in pluralism, human rights and democracy at 바카라사이트 University of Ulster, had included in an influential 2000 report on selective education a reference to a book 바카라사이트y had supposedly co-edited but that did not actually exist.

In a letter sent last July to Robert McCartney, a retired QC and former MP who first raised 바카라사이트 issue, Queen¡¯s 바카라사이트n vice-chancellor, Sir Peter Gregson, said that 바카라사이트 academics had intended to publish 바카라사이트 book, and that 바카라사이트 paper had always been available from 바카라사이트m ¡°upon request¡±. But he accepted that 바카라사이트 references to it were ¡°inappropriate¡± in 바카라사이트 absence of ¡°바카라사이트 qualifier ¡®in preparation¡¯?¡± and said that he had ¡°formally addressed this matter with Professor Gallagher¡±.
