Oxford University Press will stop publishing the Chinese-funded journal Forensic Sciences Research by the end of 2025 due to ethical concerns. The journal, backed by China’s Ministry of Justice, faced criticism for publishing research involving DNA from Uyghur minorities, raising questions about consent and surveillance. One controversial study used blood samples from Uyghurs in Xinjiang, with ties to Chinese security forces. Though an “Expression of Concern” was issued, the original paper remains unretracted, prompting OUP to sever ties over human rights concerns.
