Masaya Sawamura (born 1961 in Kochi) is a Japanese chemist and a full professor in the Department of Chemistry at Hokkaido University in Japan[1][2]. He gained notoriety in the scientific community for notable science misconduct, particularly for his involvement in manipulating or fabricating data in academic papers.[5][6][7] [8][9]

- 1995: Assistant Professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology[1][2]
- 1995: Assistant Professor at The University of Tokyo[1][2]
- 1996: Lecturer[1][2]
- 1997: Associate Professor [1][2]
- 2001: Professor at Hokkaido University [1][2]
Science Misconduct
Masaya Sawamura's science misconduct had a significant impact in the field of chemistry. Several of his academic papers were retracted due to concerns about manipulated or fabricated data. In 2022, the Chemistry group at Hokkaido University, where Sawamura is affiliated, retracted multiple papers, including one published in the journal Science in 2020. The retraction was attributed to the non-reproducibility of reported results and manipulation of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra.[3][4]
Additionally, two papers by Sawamura's team, originally published in 2019 in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, were retracted due to the manipulation or fabrication of NMR spectra and HPLC charts.[10][11]
