For this research and its publication, King, A.J., J.K. Griffin and F. Roslan. 2014. In vitro and in vivo addition of dried olive extract to poultry products. J. Agric. Food Chem., 2014, 62 (31), pp 7915 –7919, there was never a verbal or written agreement to not publish results. In fact, it was clearly understood by all parties that without a written agreement between all parties and the University, such an agreement was absolutely against University policy I am reporting this matter to University Council, University of CA Davis, for further exploration.

You may try to contact RG's support team at https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/requests/new. But I doubt that they have anything to do with copyright in this case. ResearchGate gives just the bibliographic data at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263778595.
Dear Annie King
You stumbled on a fundamental point. Your paper is published in a subscription-based journal and therefor it is only accessible for those having a license or subscription (most of the time this is your university library). ACS publications is very strict in this.
Unfortunately they keep their copyright basically forever (even patents have a limited time of 'protection'). Published by another publisher, but a notorious example is the famous Watson & Crick paper in Nature, published by another publisher, which was till recently not publicly available (although there are (illegal) copies available in Google Scholar. https://www.nature.com/articles/171737a0 (recently it is made readable by Nature but still the original version is not).
RG experienced serious pressure from both ACS and Elsevier to follow the copyright rules these publishers impose (and lawfully are entitled to...).
Fortunately you can always share your own copy to those that request a copy of your paper, but you are (officially) not allowed to make it publicly available.
Best regards.

(as part of a demand made by Elsevier, if I recall it referred to thousands of papers 'illegally' uploaded here on RG).- Badges
