By: Alliance for Universal Computing™ (AUC)
IEEE faces a plagiarism scandal as ICT executive Charles Sun exposes repeated copying from his 2016 Computerworld article, prompting urgent calls for transparency and reform in scientific publishing.
WASHINGTON - Sept. 26, 2025 - PRLog -- The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), one of the world's largest scientific publishers, faces a major plagiarism scandal following a formal complaint and forensic evidence submitted by Charles Sun, a nationally honored ICT executive and global thought leader in IPv6 adoption. Filed on September 14, 2025, the complaint targets the IEEE IoT Newsletter (July 2017 edition) and alleges repeated instances of unattributed copying and paraphrasing from Sun's widely cited Computerworld article, No IoT without IPv6 (May 19, 2016).
IEEE acknowledged receipt via auto-reply (Ref #250914-000320) but failed to issue a formal response or take corrective action by the September 19 deadline."This is not a minor oversight—it's a breach of trust," said Sun. "IEEE's silence speaks volumes about its editorial accountability and the urgent need for credible plagiarism investigations in scientific publishing."
