Oxford University Press has announced it will no longer publish a Chinese government-sponsored academic journal due to ongoing controversy regarding breaches of ethical standards in DNA collection from ethnic minorities. This decision comes after years of criticism about the publication's alignment with ethical guidelines. The journal, backed by the Academy of Forensic Science under China's Ministry of Justice since 2023, has faced scrutiny for allegedly failing to obtain proper consent from subjects involved in sensitive DNA research related to Uyghur and other minority groups.
The Oxford University Press (OUP) will stop publishing a Chinese government-sponsored academic journal following years of outrage over the publication allegedly breaching ethical rules over DNA collection from minorities.
The controversial journal has been published since 2023 and financially supported by the Academy of Forensic Science, which is run by China's ministry of justice.
