This is a biography of a living person which paints the subject in a predominantly negative light, while providing insufficient context as to the incident and being unspecific as to the role and magnitude of involvement of the subject. The impact has been exaggerated in a manner not supported by the sources cited. The conclusions presented appear to be original research (WP:OR).

Comment: Close but not quite enough independent, significant coverage. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 19:20, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Given that this draft states that Sawamura is notable for having had to retract several of his publications, we'd need substantial third-party reporting about the retraction to verify that his is a notable case of scientific misconduct.

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]

Science Misconduct edit
Masaya Sawamura's science misconduct made 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]
