A professor of Huazhong Agricultural University in the central China city of Wuhan has been fired over academic misconduct, with 10 of his published papers found to contain plagiarism and fabricated data, the university announced on Tuesday 6 February, writes Yang Yiting for Shine.
A statement issued by the university revealed that 10 papers published by the professor surnamed Huang as a corresponding author were forged, including experimental data and pictures. Another two papers were improperly credited. He edited and published textbooks using duplicated content from other published textbooks without citing the source.
The investigation also found Huang, a professor at the College of Animal Science and Technology and the School of Animal Medicine, failed in his duty of supervising his graduate students and underpaid research assistant fees to some students. The investigation commenced on 18 January after a scathing 125-page report penned by 11 of Huang’s graduate students was released online, detailing a litany of alleged improprieties.
