Moon Hyung-in explained

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.[1] [2]

Pharmaceutical Biology[3]
Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry[4]
