Okay, so apparently deadlychameleon established here that Ogas and Gaddam do not have either IRB approval or the support of Boston University. Which removes them from the academic sphere.

So here's my question: tactically speaking, what do we do now? I mean obviously we flame them and spam them and people are starting to write some kinda awesome RPS and that's all happymaking, but can we do something to kill their book deal? If this had been an academic matter, the protocols on that would have been clear. Who do we need to be emailing at Dutton? Can we put a stop to this, or do we have to settle for just doing as much damage as possible?

I doubt seriously we can do anything to get the book stopped, but here are some great ideas for follow-up actions by Prof Pangaea:
