Clarification of Facts Regarding News Reports on Research Publication
Attention has been drawn to recent reports circulated widely on social media and online news outlets concerning a Thai scholar who allegedly purchased research works and had them published in academic journals.
The case may have led the public to mistakenly believe that the individual in question is affiliated with the Chulabhorn Research Institute (CRI). The CRI would like to clarify that the scholar mentioned was neither a researcher nor an employee of the CRI. Furthermore, the CRI had no involvement in the publication of the research works in question. The CRI totally disapproves any practice involving the purchase of authorship for the sole purpose of gaining credit in a published work. Such actions constitute a blatant violation of disciplines and ethical standards in the research circle.
The Chulabhorn Research Institute has always adhered to the researcher ethics and practices, as set forth by the National Research Council of Thailand, with strict ethics in conducting research and disseminating research findings at the international level.
This clarification is issued to provide accurate information to the public and prevent any misunderstanding that could potentially harm the CRI’s reputation and tarnish its esteemed image.
