京都大で論文不正、改ざんや捏造　計3件、撤回などの対応求める（共同通信） - Yahoo!ニュース

This page reports that Kyoto University has identified three cases of research misconduct involving falsification and fabrication of academic papers. The papers of Kiichi Hirota, a former associate professor at Kyoto University Hospital, published between 2011 and 2016, contained alterations in five figures and tables. The investigation committee determined that manipulated image data was reused and data was reversed for use. Hirota claims these were errors made during image creation, denying intentional wrongdoing. The university is demanding paper retraction and other corrective measures.
