Mohammad Moniruzzaman Khan, a professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department of North South University, claims to be one of the world’s leading researchers.
However, several well-known journals have retracted 26 of Moniruzzaman’s research papers. He was the lead author of six of these studies and co-authored the rest. The journals say they have retracted the papers for various irregularities including adding false expert evaluations, inconsistencies in data, and plagiarism.
Moniruzzaman Khan is just one example. Prothom Alo has found at least 325 retracted research papers between 2019 and June 2026, with links to various researchers from universities and research institutions in Bangladesh.
