From Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 09 2017: (Start)
The general formula for S_{2*(k+1)} = Sum_{n>=0} 1/((n+1)*(k*n+1)) given in the Downey et al. link is a special case of the simpler formula for V(m,r) = Sum_{n>=0} 1/((n+1)*(m*n + r)), r = 1,2, ... ,m -1. V(m,r) = (m/(m-r))*v_m(r) in Koecher's notation. For this formula for m*v_m(r) see a comment in A294512.
The special case is m = k and r = 1, leading to S_{2*(k+1)} = V(k,1) = (log(k) + (Pi/2)*cot(Pi/k) - Sum_{j=1..k-1} cos(2*Pi*j/k)*log(2*sin(Pi*j/k)))/(k-1), for k >= 2.
S_14, for k=6, is then given by the formula below (also obtained from the more complicated formula of Downey et al.).
The partial sums are given in A294834/A294835.
