On March 19, 2020, the Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists set up Special Investigation Committee to investigate into the scientific misconduct of papers by our members.

The JSA special committee is in process of investigating papers. The result will be announced on this web site after a thorough investigation.

JSA recognizes that this issue of scientific misconduct is an extremely serious matter and we are making every effort to clarify the full pictures of this issue.
