ReceptioGate: #ReceptioGate: Academic Defamation and the Dismemberment of Manuscripts

This expanded edition of #ReceptioGate: Academic Defamation and the Dismemberment of Manuscripts presents a verifiable account of a coordinated campaign of reputational damage targeting Prof. Carla Rossi, a senior European scholar. Based on legal records, archival documents, and public sources, the book reconstructs the creation and algorithmic amplification of false claims across blogs, social media, and press articles. It includes a structured timeline, institutional evidence, and selected online content. A reference work for scholars, cultural heritage professionals, and legal experts, this edition aims to document the attack and preserve a truthful, citable counter-narrative. A second volume on institutional complicity is in preparation.
