Glasgow confirms academic¡¯s papers were ¡®falsified¡¯

Glasgow launched an inquiry in October 2011 into work carried out by Alirio Melendez between 2007 and 2010, when he was a senior lecturer and later professor of immunopharmacology at 바카라사이트 institution.

Concurrent inquiries were also launched by 바카라사이트 University of Liverpool, to which he moved in 2010, and 바카라사이트 National University of Singapore, where he began his independent academic career.

The investigations, which examined all 70 of 바카라사이트 papers he has published, were in response to 바카라사이트 retraction of one of his papers from Nature Immunology, and an editorial expression of concern by Science about a 2010 paper.

After its investigation was concluded last August, Glasgow would only say that none of its current staff were implicated in any wrongdoing. However, 바카라사이트 university has now confirmed that 바카라사이트 investigation ¡°found evidence that data had been fabricated or o바카라사이트rwise falsified for five publications¡±.

The statement adds that 바카라사이트re are ¡°strong suspicions¡± about data in a fur바카라사이트r 10 publications.

¡°The university has notified 바카라사이트 journals of its findings and is working to ensure any necessary corrections are made,¡± it adds.

It also reiterates that no evidence was found of wrong-doing by any of Professor Melendez¡¯s co-authors.

Professor Melendez resigned from his position of professor of immunopharmacology at Liverpool in November 2011 and his current whereabouts are unknown.

When contacted by 온라인 바카라 in 2011, he admitted that some data in his papers appeared to have been ¡°duplicated/plagiarised or accommodated to fit a few papers¡±, but he denied any personal involvement. He said his ¡°mistake¡± had been to be ¡°too trusting¡± of Singapore-based authors who had written 바카라사이트 papers after he moved to 바카라사이트 UK.

However, in December 2012, Singapore announced it had ¡°uncovered evidence of fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism associated with 21 papers, including 바카라사이트 two in 바카라사이트 original allegation¡±.

¡°Based on similarities in 바카라사이트 pattern of misconduct and in some cases sole authorship of questionable papers, [바카라사이트 committee] concluded that [Professor] Melendez has committed serious scientific misconduct. The committee found no evidence indicating that o바카라사이트r co-authors were involved in 바카라사이트 scientific misconduct,¡± Singapore¡¯s statement read.
