This special Ad Hoc Committee was appointed to investigate scientific misconduct allegations involving Professor Min-Liang Kuo, his team, and his collaborators including President Pan-Chyr Yang of National Taiwan University. Regarding papers with President Yang listed as a co-author, the committee investigated whether Yang made sufficient contributions to qualify as a co-author, and if so, whether he bore any responsibility for papers found to contain problematic data. The committee determined that Yang qualified as a co-author for his contributions, and is not responsible for the misconduct by others. As such, the committee does not believe Yang should resign as president.
