Finding fraud in China
Article Abstract:
The investigation of research misconduct in China is found to be very difficult because of the absence of open discussion and independent press scrutiny. There are no effective provisions for whistleblowers, so it is tough to believe that anyone observing misconduct would have the courage to report it to the authorities, and the Internet is found to play an important role in some countries like China and South Korea as they do have adequate systems for investigating misconduct allegations.
