About
Mingyi Liu’s research centers on structural health monitoring and damage detection in civil engineering, with a particular focus on steel structures and signal processing techniques. His most cited work, “Sensitivity of initial damage detection for steel structures using the Hilbert-Huang transform method” (2012, 30 citations), explored early-stage damage identification through advanced time-frequency analysis. However, this paper was retracted in 2013 after SAGE and the journal’s editor uncovered a peer review ring involving fabricated identities, centered around Peter Chen at National Pingtung University of Education, Taiwan. The retraction was part of a broader investigation into systematic manipulation of the review process, which ultimately undermined the reliability of the findings. While Liu’s work initially contributed to the field of vibration-based damage detection, the retraction has significantly impacted its scholarly standing. This case serves as a cautionary example in academic integrity, highlighting the importance of rigorous peer review and the consequences of compromised research practices. Liu’s career trajectory underscores the critical need for transparency and ethical standards in scientific publishing.
