Previously, the 5GH Team discovered that HU Shengnan (胡圣男) and LI Mengying (李梦颖), two students from Hubei University, were operating the Hudiandian Paper Mill and selling their data to third parties. In our previous report, we analyzed three articles. However, additional problematic articles have since been identified. To date, the team has found 12 articles that share overlapping data or spectra with HU and LI's work from Hubei University. Although some of these 12 articles were not co-authored by HU, LI, or any other members of Hudiandian Technology Co., Ltd., we believe they are connected to the Hudiandian Paper Mill.
Recently, the 5GH Team analyzed the Research Articles published on the journal "Nano TransMed", and found 20% (4 of 20) of them has problematic data/spectra.
