Abstract

Along with economic strength, space technology and software expertise, India is also a leading nation in fraudulent scientific research. The problem is worsened by vested interests working in concert for their own benefits. These self-promoting cartels, together with biased evaluation methods and weak penal systems, combine to perpetuate scientific misconduct. Some of these issues are discussed in this commentary, with supporting examples and possible solutions.

摘要

除了经济实力、空间技术和软件专业知识外，印度在欺诈性科学研究方面也是一个主要国家。既得利益者为自身利益协同行动，使问题更加恶化。这些自我推销的集团，加上有偏见的评估方法和薄弱的惩罚制度，共同导致科学不端行为长期存在。本评论讨论了其中一些问题，并给出了支持性例子和可能的解决方案。
