From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moon Hyung-In is a professor at
Dong-A University in
Busan ,
South Korea . He is a member of the Department of Medicinal Biotechnology, and he earned his PhD in the Department of Pharmacy at
Sungkyunkwan University in 2001.
Moon was discovered in 2012 to have published a number of articles in academic journals by writing the
peer review reports for them himself. He submitted manuscripts to journals that allowed authors to suggest their own reviewers: he used false names and email addresses that he controlled, and he then submitted his own (glowing) reviews. The articles were subsequently retracted when the nature of his submissions was discovered; he reportedly acknowledged falsifying data in his papers.
