Plagirism again, please join the discussion on research gate

[Louise McNally]

Hi Stefan,

Out of curiosity, I went to this woman's ResearchGate page and chose a 
random article:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/255947446_WORD_SENSE_DISAMBIGUATION_IN_SPANISH_RESTRICTIONS_IN_SEMANTIC_LEXICON_ONTOLOGIES?ev=prf_pub

I chose a random paragraph. Turns out it was taken virtually verbatim 
from this paper by Graeme Hirst:

http://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/gh/Hirst-Ontol-2009.pdf

What I'm wondering is whether there is some way to bring this to the 
attention of this woman's employer,
which I've seen (much to my vergüenza ajena) is the University of 
Seville. Have you contacted her yourself? I suppose the proper thing is 
to do that first, but if you don't get a satisfactory reaction from her, 
I would write to the university's Vice Rector for Research ( 
viceinves at us.es). This kind of thing cannot be tolerated.

Good luck,
Louise
