Blocked work

Posted by caroldimon on January 30, 2013 at 7:55 AM

The work of independent people(ie not fortunate to be employed within a University/ major establishment) is being blocked. Publishers prefer professor Bloggs or reputable establishments, to produce work for them. There are opportunites here for the established, to assist the unestablished thus increase the reputation of academia. That is what it is about surely?

Take the report in the Sun newspaper re prostitutes in  care home (29.1.13).Yes, the home ought to have gained clearance by regulatory bodies etc and documented. They may well have done- I do not know.  Human rights issue addressed by myself 1999 (Equinox actually published it. Some years later, research done by Counsel and Care. Years after that  guidelines produced by  a  major body who I had approached in 1999 but they were not interested. The effect of blocking people is to delay development. I submitted a wonderful piece 1990s from 2 care assistants in a care home. The journals would not publish it. says it all.

If you know any other examples of blockages (!) in any field, please let me know.

Publications are welcome on this website.

See book, Decisions and Dilemmas (2006) Fivepin.

If you look round, it is always the same people- being allowed to speak/write/research etc or being involved . I am not the only one to notice this. It also ocurs in other fields such as art. The well known name-- sells more. Writing alone- blocked by the majority- is actually harder . For example, nobody assists with ideas, writing or literature searching. Let alone- publishing.Trying to ask them to clarify matters or assist, is another matter---.
