Questionable Data on WEI Gaofei's Master Thesis


An investigation reveals that data presented on Figure 5-7, 5-8, 5-9 and 5-10 of WEI Gaofei's (魏高飞) Master Thesis was reused from the article [1] where he was listed as the first author. Critically, the same dataset was claimed to have been obtained under different experimental conditions in the two documents: In his Master Thesis, he claimed the experiments were conducted at 50 deg.C, while in the article [1], he claimed the experiments were conducted at 20 deg.C. The actual experimental conditions under which this dataset was generated remain unconfirmed and unclear.
