Songling Wang (王松灵) Spells His Name as "Songlin Wang" on Publications

Songling Wang (王松灵), a leading dental scientist in China, and a fellow of the Chinese Academy of Science, has published over 200 academic articles until recently. However, on most of his publications, Wang spells his name as "Songlin Wang" instead of "Songling Wang", which is likely due to his dialect accent.

The 5GH team uncovers the connection between "Songlin Wang" and Songling Wang, because the author "Songlin Wang" has a same e-mail address (slwang@ccmu.edu.cn) as that of Songling Wang with the Capital Medical University, China.

Although this misspelling was not intended to cover up misconducts, it causes great inconvenience for the readers to recognize that Songling Wang is one of the authors, the 5GH team would like to ask the publishers/journals to correct those records.

WANG Aijie’s Questionable Editorial Contributions on Environmental Research

Previously, the 5GH team and our international allies exposed some questionable editorial contributions of WANG Aijie as Editor-in-Chief on Environmental Research, an Elsevier title. As the investigation went on, we found more concerning editorial activities from Wang, a professor at Harbin Institute of Technology and CAS Research Center for Eco-Environmental Science, and she was also a winner for the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, China. Here, we update the list for her questionable editorial contributions.
