NTU PRESIDENT CO-AUTHORED SUSPECT ACADEMIC PAPERS|台大論文遭撤擴大 校長楊泮池掛名也出包

National Taiwan University professor, Kuo Min-liang, who is suspected of academic fraud, has resigned to take personal responsibility. Now, another academic article published in 2006, which NTU president Yang Pan-chyrs co-authored was suspected to be fabricated. Yang said he is sorry for what happened, and hope the case can be clarified soon. These two images bear a lot of similarities, even though they are issued in different years. NTU professor Kuo Min-liang and his research team were accused of using duplicated images and fabricated data in 5 academic articles on cancer. NTU president Yang Pan-Chyr, who co-authored one of the controversial papers, apologized. ==YANG PAN-CHYR, NTU president== This is a very sad thing. I am really sorry for what happened. This should have never happened, because it is extremely harmful to academia. NTU said the controversial articles have been pulled and the case will be reviewed by an academic evaluation committee. Legislators said former minister of education Chiang Wei-ling was forced to resign because an academic article that he nominally co-authored, violated academic ethics. ==KO CHIH-EN, KMT legislator== Former minister of education Chiang Wei-ling was also a co-author of an academic article. At the time, he gave a lot of evidence to prove that he had little idea about the issue. However, under pressure from all quarters of society, he was forced to resign. Academic standards should not be altered because of different ruling political parties. ==LIN DA-DER, NTU secretary-general == If any breaches of academic ethics are found, then the case will be sent to the academic evaluation committee for punishment. NTU has formed an investigative group to look into the papers issued by Kuo's team. Academicians will be invited to review the research. Yang will not be directly involved in the process, and the result may be reported as early as the end of this year. TRANSLATED BY：ARIEL HSIEH 兩張圖有多個相似之處，不過發表日期分別是2013年及2016年，前台大生化所教授郭明良團隊的癌症研究、被指控圖像數據疑似造假、重複使用，有問題的論文多達5篇，就連台大校長楊泮池，也在爭議論文中、掛名共同作者。 ==台大校長 楊泮池== 發生這個事情 是非常非常難過 我們也感到非常非常抱歉 不應該發生這種事情 對學術界傷害 是非常非常的大 台大表示，目前最具爭議的論文都已被撤下，其他將會視論文瑕疵的嚴重程度而定，不過，有立委質疑前教育部長蔣偉寧，當初也因共同掛名的論文、違反學術倫理而下台、還被科技部停權一年，現在楊泮池也陷入同樣局面，該如何處置。 ==立委 柯志恩(國)== 過去我們對於蔣偉寧部長 他當然那時候 也是一個共同作者 他也提出很多 他對這件事情不太清楚 但是卻有很多朝野壓力 讓他必須被迫辭職 一個學術的標準 應不應該是因為不同政黨 而有不同的選擇取向 ==台大主秘 林達德== 判定的話有違反學術倫理的情節 或者是相關情事的話 就會由教評會 再去做懲處 目前，台大已針對郭明良團隊的相關論文成立調查小組，並首度啟動特別委員會機制，邀請院士級校內外人士、一同審查，而楊泮池將全程迴避，最快年底前會有結果。 記者 朱芷儀 林志堅 台北報導
