>I'd write to the head of their faculty or their dean

The university and the journal. They both have an interest here.

Lots of peer review papers refer to non peer review content. It's not wrong to refer to URI of note. Not to do so, this egregiously stinks of passing off others work.

It is easy to article cited SQLite, even author say they don't need this. people still cited it, because this is basic requirement.

SQLite? Can you explain? I don't understand how it fits in here.

Some software, such as gnu "parallels" requests peer review academics to cite use of their code, on an honour system. Sqlite is citable, if you search Google examples how are visible high in search return.

it just first example I found in my head. try to display citation is must and every researcher do it because they q6re moral.

In my experience, journals are surprisingly (?) uninterested in these sort of things. The university will then just refer to the journal and reply that the claim of plagiarism must be fabricated as the journal would surely have done something.

It would be surprising if you expected universities to live by the ideals they profess but experience teaches that they don’t.

I sold a line of high end r&d tools to university labs; they became engines to knock off each others work. The least ethical group of buyers I ever worked with!

“Surprising” refers to journals, not universities. It’s completely unsurprising (albeit unethical) that universities take the easy way.

The professor's "work" wasn't published through a university; She published the work as a company she directs.

"RECEPTIO is an independent, non-commercial research centre under private law (run by the International Philological Society), whose members do not receive any pecuniary benefit from their research activities."

You mean this book was not published by academic publishers, so its value is nil?
