Hindawi concludes in-depth investigation into peer review fraud |
|
As a result of an internal verification process, Hindawi’s staff has identified three Editors who appear to have subverted the peer review process by creating fraudulent reviewer accounts and using these accounts to submit favourable review reports. In total, Hindawi identified 32 articles that were recommended for publication on the basis of review reports from these fraudulent reviewer accounts. After consulting with COPE in order to determine the appropriate course of action for the 32 articles, Hindawi is now moving ahead with a re-review process, and will be working with COPE to ensure that any articles that need to be retracted are handled in accordance with COPE guidelines.
