A paper published in an academic journal led by a professor at the University of Fukui received information that "there was something wrong", and it was found by interviewing the university that the university has set up a research committee to investigate. I did.
According to a person at the University of Fukui, a paper published in an academic journal led by a professor in his 60s is called "peer review", in which the content is checked by a third-party researcher before the journal is published. In February, information was sent to the university saying that there was something wrong with the procedure.
In response to this, the university set up a research committee to confirm the facts, and the publisher of the academic journal also said, "I found out that there was an exchange between the author and the reviewer of the paper, so I wrote the paper. It means that there was a message saying "withdrawal of publication".
It is generally considered inappropriate for the researcher who wrote the dissertation to be involved in "peer review," and the university is conducting research by listening to the professor himself and other related parties.
The University of Fukui commented, "We are currently in the process of confirming the facts and want to clarify the facts as soon as possible."
