To whom it may concern ::: ๐ ๐๐.๐ :::
I resigned from academia on 30.04.2024.
I request that I am ๐ง๐จ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ for academic reviews, surveys, publications, reading materials, workshops, seminars, or invitations ๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ฅ as I will generally not participate in such activities. One can contact me ๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐๐ข๐ง๐ค๐๐๐๐ง.
I also request that my personal contact details not be used for software installations, purchases, registrations, groups, mailing lists, or events ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ญ, and that my phone number not be shared ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง.
Any unsolicited or inappropriate communication will be blocked and may be reported to the ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐.
I also inform that:
โขโ โ I do not engage in unstructured or non-transparent working arrangements. Technical reviews are expected to take place within structured, transparent, and appropriately documented processes, rather than in ๐ข๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐จ๐ง๐-๐ญ๐จ-๐จ๐ง๐ settings, ensuring clarity and accountability.
โขโ โ To participate as a member of a Scientific Committee or as a reviewer, I require a ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐๐ฌ๐ค๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ. Invitations or collaborations that do not meet these standards will be declined.
โขโ โ Unsolicited or ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ญ๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ฌ and interactions will be blocked and reported.
โขโ โ Unsolicited or unclear collaboration requests will not be pursued, and contact may be restricted if necessary. Unwanted or ๐๐ง๐จ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฌ may be blocked and reported.
I decide which messages/reference letters I am accepting and for how long
because
I am a free individual with integrity who thankfully lives in a democracy.
I do not engage in any form of inappropriate or ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ฒ-๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ข๐จ๐ซ.
