Freelance writing?

sammason wrote in academics_anon Aug 02, 2015 17:33

There's quite a market for freelance academic writers. Some of the companies are blatantly crooked, selling essays to students so that they'll get good results without learning the material! But other companies might be bona fide. I have a brain. Make my own judgements.

I'm now in the process of signing up to write for money through Writezillas ( Read more... )

UK libel law and scientific debate

the_physicist wrote in academics_anon Dec 22, 2014 17:24

In a 2012 Phd by publication, based on a book from 2010, I found a chapter where the author claims to have found some literary references (or sampling) in the literary work of someone else. However, an internet essay, published in 2005 on a forum and updated in 2006 and 2009, has exactly the same findings. But this was published by a mere 'fan' of ( Read more... )

Does research constitute "derivative works"?

energyresearch wrote in academics_anon Sep 06, 2014 15:53

The GNU Free Documentation Licence states that "derivative works" must also be distributed under the terms of the FDL. This is the "cancer" by association that Mr Ballmer (Microsoft) famously criticised the related GNU General Public Licence for software (i.e. preventing the usual monopolistic behaviour of the monster from Redmond).

Why aren't professors and universities liable for the death of students?

energyresearch wrote in academics_anon Aug 07, 2014 15:54

The blog post describes that basically, if a student is killed in a university laboratory, neither the professor concerned nor the university are liable to any significance. Ignoring an example such as the ( Read more... )
