(14 July 2014) Taiwan’s Education Minister Chiang Wei-ling resigned on Monday 14 July over his links to a researcher whose papers were retracted from an international scientific journal because of alleged fraud.
SAGE, the British publisher of the Journal of Vibration and Control or JVC, where the papers appeared, announced on 8 July that it had withdrawn 60 papers written by Chen, saying he had created a citation ring involving some 130 academic names and used a number of false email accounts to “subvert” the peer review process.
