and achievements. [sina] | Liu
Hui, a returned scholar from New York, the United States, tampered with his
curriculum vitae, working experience and academic achievements, which are
published on his personal homepage and was handed into Tsinghua, a prestigious
Chinese university.
One of his best theses was also verified to be written by another scholar,
whose name abbreviation is the same as Liu Hui, said Fang Zhouzi, a famous
Chinese scholar who runs a Website exposing scientific plagiarism and
pseudoscience.
Liu later admitted he didn't write the thesis, but attributed his actions to
a confusing and difficult job search.
Fang also doubted Liu's working experience as director of a surgical
institution in a New York University from 1999 to 2004. Tsinghua accepted Fang's
accusation and fired Liu, according to the university news center.
China is drafting and improving regulations regarding scientific and
technological evaluation and rewards.
It seeks to avoid anything like South Korea's Hwang Woo-suk scandal. Hwang
first stunned the medical world with his ground-breaking research in stem cell -
and then stunned the world again when his results were found to have been faked.
