ABSTRACT
Objective:To review the concept of science and technology ethics, analyze the problems faced by science and technology ethics governance from the perspective of collaborative governance, and then propose suggestions.Methods:Using the literature review method, we searched and screened relevant literature on science and technology ethics governance, extracted the research content and results of such literature for systematically review and summarization.Results:The problems of China′s science and technology ethics governance include slow legalization progress, unclear disciplinary standards, unsound governance systems, and weak scientific and technological ethics awareness among researchers.Conclusions:Strengthening the governance of science and technology ethics requires a multi-level approach, including strengthening the legislation of science and technology ethics, improving the governance mechanism, and improving the awareness of science and technology ethics among the scientists and technologists.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the characteristics and patterns of medical research integrity cases reported by the Ministry of Science and Technology, and to explore the countermeasures to strengthen the management of medical research integrity.Methods:20 batches of 555 cases of scientific research integrity cases publicly reported by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China from June 2021 to May 2022 were taken as the research objects, and the papers involved, regional distribution, scientific research dishonesty and disciplinary measures were classified and analyzed.Results:Data falsification was the most common problem of scientific research dishonesty, accounting for 47.39%. Shandong Province was the province with the most reported cases, accounting for 50.81%. 27.67% of the corresponding authors received 5 disciplinary measures, and 26.28% of the first authors received 6 disciplinary measures. Among the disciplinary measures, the proportion of suspension of applications for various scientific research projects was the highest, with 87.60% of corresponding authors and 91.42% of first authors receiving this punishment. The corresponing authors with 5 years suspension accounted for 49.24% of all years, and the first authors accounted for 57.48%.Conclusions:To promote the integrity governance of medical research, we should strengthen the supervision of medical journals, promote regional exchanges, encourage active error correction, and improve the construction of scientific research integrity database.
