unless more information to indicate academic notability is provided. Simply having published a good number of research papers is not indicative of academic notability; publishing is a part of the job and that is what academics do. Nothing special about that as such and simply having a good publication record was never considered enough for satisfying  in the past. He seems to be a fairly recent PhD since the publications go back only to 2000 and his first academic appointment is 2002. I looked up his web page at Sheffield:http://www.shef.ac.uk/law/staff/acstaff/taylorm.html. I don't really see anything unusual or particularly distinguished in the data listed there (no particular awards or honors). The most impressive thing there is a big grant he has from the European Commission. That's good but I'd like to see something more definitive, such as academic awards/honors or evidence of substantial citability of his work
