東邦大学医学部前副教授捏造論文

Recently the Yomiuri News on-line reported the following:

東邦大学医学部の元准教授による論文捏造(ねつぞう)疑惑で、元准教授が会員である日本麻酔科学会は29日、172本の論文が捏造だとする調査結果を公表した。

 捏造疑惑は1993年から約19年にわたるとみられ、一人の研究者による不正では、過去に例のない規模となる。

 同学会の調査特別委員会によれば、疑惑を持たれていたのは医師の藤井善隆・元准教授(52)。特別委は、藤井元准教授が国内外の専門誌に発表した論文212本について、内容の精査や共著者への聞き取り、カルテとの照合などを行った。

 その結果、捏造がないと断定できた論文は、共著者として出した3本だけ。論文内容と実際の実験条件が食い違っていたり、論文の症例数と、実際に診療した患者数が合わなかったりするなど、捏造と考えられる論文が172本、記録が残っておらず、捏造が否定できない論文が37本あった。

Regarding the suspicion on the paper fabrication by a former associate professor of the medical department of the Toho University, the Japanese anesthesia science meeting which the associate professor was a former member released on the 29th (June) the results of an investigation over the supposition that 172 papers were fabricated.

The fabrication was suspected to have spread across a period of about 19 years since 1993, as a single inaccurate researcher case it stood out as having no precedent in the past in terms of scale.

According to the Special Investigation Committees of the Society, it was held that Doctor Yoshitaka Fujii (52) the former associate professor was responsible for the suspicion. The special committee performed checking on the contents, listening to coauthors, doing collation with charts etc. on about 212 papers which the former Associate Professor Fujii had announced to the technical magazines inside and outside the country.

As a result, it was concluded that there were only three papers that had no fabrication and were taken out as papers with coauthors. With regards to the 172 papers that had no records remained, they were either papers with the contents and the actual experimental conditions not matching, or papers that the number of cases and the actually treated patient load not adding up. 37 papers were considered to have fabrication that could not be denied.

I am wondering what are the motives for him to fabricate the research results.
