Message: <blockquote data-quote="Klaas van Dijk" data-source="post: 3607527" data-attributes="member: 115771">Herculean efforts to get reviews / comments from experts / reviewers / peers / specialists (within this field of research) who rebut / refute any of the findings in <a href="https://www.academia.edu/33827046" target="_blank">https://www.academia.edu/33827046</a> (also deposited at <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/318340512" target="_blank">https://www.researchgate.net/publication/318340512</a>) are until now unsuccessful.Badmouthing about me is of course not allowed. I have therefore filed on 2 May 2017 a formal complaint at the University of Western Australia (UWA) with serious allegations of violations of the Code of Ethics at <a href="http://www.hr.uwa.edu.au/policies/policies/conduct/code/ethics" target="_blank">http://www.hr.uwa.edu.au/policies/policies/conduct/code/ethics</a> against Michael Wise <a href="http://www.web.uwa.edu.au/people/michael.wise" target="_blank">http://www.web.uwa.edu.au/people/michael.wise</a> , a member of the council of COPE <a href="https://publicationethics.org/about/council/michael-wise" target="_blank">https://publicationethics.org/about/council/michael-wise</a> , and therefore co-responsible and co-accountable for the decision of COPE to start with badmouthing about me. The complaint was received in good order by UWA: "From: Complaints; To: Klaas van Dijk; Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2017 7:39 AM; Subject: C1701021 - complaint re Michael Wise. Dear Mr van Dijk, I write to confirm receipt of your complaint and to provide you with the file reference C1701021. (...)." I received in cc from COPE on 10 May 2017 an e-mail about me which contained towards my opinion new violations of the Code of Ethics of UWA. Michael Wise is of course co-responsible and co-accountable for the contents of this e-mail. I have therefore informed UWA on 11 May 2017 about this new issue. I received on 31 May 2017 from UWA a response in which UWA stated: "I am reviewing all the relevant documentation and the matters will be considered and responded to by a member of the University Executive." This has until now not happened.</blockquote>
