The letter from KCL is worth reading:<p>&quot;<i>Further to your recent request for information held by King’s College London, I am 
writing to confirm that the requested information is held by the university. The 
university is withholding the information in accordance with section 14(1) of the Act 
– Vexatious Request.</i><p>...<p>&quot;<i>You initially requested the information in accordance with the data sharing policies 
of the Public Library of Science (PLOS). The university has decided to treat this as a 
request under section 1(1) of the Act, as the information is held by the university. We 
received your information request on 13 November 2015.</i>&quot;<p>I&#x27;ll further note that the professor making the request is a critic of the article.<p>KCL appears to be unilaterally declaring the request to be under the FOIA instead of PLOS rules so they <i>can</i> deny it.
