| Jul 21, 2014 at 17:43 | comment | added | Mark Rosenblitt-Janssen | @tohecx: No, as a student they are already in the University system. Using the services which are part of being a student, does not make them "sponsored". | |
| Jul 21, 2014 at 17:41 | comment | added | Oswald Veblen | @Davidmh: that's not how academic research works; faculty don't separate "paid" research and "unpaid" research - e.g. summer research, even if "unpaid", is still affiliated with the institution. (Also, the typical faculty workload according to many studies is about 55 hours per week, much more than 39.) This is one reason that the premise underlying the OP's question is hard to understand - assuming you have only one job, and the job is at a university, that university is normally the affiliation for all your academic work. | |
| Jul 21, 2014 at 17:34 | comment | added | Davidmh | @tohecz IANAL, but it could be argued that the paper was downloaded for my actual paid research, and I reused that knowledge. For what happened IRL, I know that in industry there have been judicial sentences in both directions, so it is certanly a shady area. | |
| Jul 21, 2014 at 17:27 | comment | added | yo' | @Davidmh As soon as you once download a paper from a paid website or use a paid search service, you are sponsored by the university. | |
| Jul 21, 2014 at 17:27 | comment | added | Davidmh | @OswaldVeblen I am required to work (and paid for) 39 h a week. Even on a flexible schedule, anything I do outside these hours is not paid by the university. | |
| Jul 21, 2014 at 14:45 | comment | added | Oswald Veblen | @Mark J: yes, of course - assuming that the OP is not being paid at all by the institution. The question is somewhat ambiguous about whether the OP is being paid at all by the university. | |
| Jul 21, 2014 at 14:34 | comment | added | Mark Rosenblitt-Janssen | @OswaldVeblen: If one is doing work that was not suggested by a professor, is not paid by the institution, then one is doing one's own private research, which at some time may be given under the umbrella of the institution. | |
| Jul 21, 2014 at 14:21 | comment | added | Oswald Veblen | @Davidmh: that may depend on the field somewhat, but in my field of math it would be bizarre to try to separate "work hours" from other hours - research happens on its own schedule. Perhaps a laboratory scientist could separate time in the lab from time at home, but then how would they do research at home? | |
| Jul 21, 2014 at 13:59 | comment | added | Davidmh | One could be doing research outside of work hours, then the university would not be sponsoring that research. | |
| Jul 21, 2014 at 13:19 | comment | added | Oswald Veblen | The OP does say he is studying at a university; I think the question is somewhat ambiguous about whether the OP is being paid to be in a research group. | |
| Jul 21, 2014 at 13:09 | comment | added | Mark Rosenblitt-Janssen | The OP says it is not sponsored by the university, so is not a GA or part of a university research group. | |
| Jul 21, 2014 at 13:02 | comment | added | Oswald Veblen | If the student is being paid by the university (e.g. as a graduate assistant or part of a research group), then it can't really be called "unsponsored". (I haven't voted on this answer.) | |
