I am a university student involved in a dispute concerning intellectual theft of an original idea and a research design developed by me. A senior researcher has apparently stolen my intellectual property and is currently running experiments making use of my original idea and design (Henceforth: "the stolen research"). My research idea and design are easy to describe, and I have full evidence of the materials used in the stolen research. Moreover, the research CV of this researcher is easy to obtain and indexed in databases and the like. For answer be complete, I need: 1. A name of an expert in the field of cognitive sciences or psychology with a PhD degree. 2. That this expert will be able to compare my idea and design to the ones used in the stolen research, with respect to the CV of the researcher conducting this accroachment. 3. That this expert will be willing to write down his professional opinion in a written statement to the relevant authority resolving this dispute. 4. As this issue is fundamental and not monetary in nature, this expert should agree to use make this job for a symbolic price. Thanks a lot in advance! Jimmy |

Unless you can find someone connected to a personal friend or family member, I doubt that you will find anyone with the credentials you seek who will work for "a symbolic price." A person who has expertise in this sort of thing is likely to demand a substantial fee. |

I would agree with pinkfreud. If you would like to contact appropriate people yourself, I would gladly post an answer listing a substantial number of professors of cognitive science (and contact info), to whom you could send a letter or something. Would that be alright? |

Dear pinkfreud and Andrew, I have many friends that can do this job for nothing. In fact, anyone in the academy will do it for nothing given this is a relatively simple issue to determine if two theories are similar or different and the like (as I specified above). The expertise needed is in research methods and using casual psychological databases. Every PhD graduate of Psychology or Cognitive Sciences is supposed to be able to do that. My problem is not locating those people. That's trivial. My problem is that I leave outside of the US, and our academy business is small, so while serious people agree with me concerning this issue - none of them is interested in "facing" this researcher by giving his/her written opinion. In the US things are different - 99.9% of the people never heard of this researcher and are therefore 'politically neutral'. I am looking for someone with IDEOLOGY, who wants to promote ethics in psychological research. Again, the issue is fundamental. Someone with ideology in this will spend half an hour for a symbolic fee (or volunteering) for his opinion. That's the one I'm looking for and therefore need your kind help. |

If you are a university student then you could invoke your university's procedure for making an official complaint (perhaps under anti-plagiariam rules; perhaps on unfair practice, or conduct likely to bring the university into disrepute etc). You might read your university's rules about complaining. Also consult you Student Union for advice on formulating the complaint. And you could try summarising the complaint and sending it to the researcher's professional body. I imagine that s/he is a member of the British Psychological Society or a similar American (or other national) body. If all else fails, you could try interesting the press. In the Uk the Times Higher Educational Supplement would be a possible newspaper. But be very sure of your case. There are libel laws. |
