Abstract

BACKGROUND

Organ donation and transplantation in China are ethically complex due to questionable informed consent and the use of prisoners as donors. Publishing works from China can be problematic. The objective of this study was to perform a 10-year follow up on Chinese journals active in donation and transplant publishing regarding the evolution of their publishing guidelines.

METHODS

Eleven Chinese journals were analyzed for 7 properties: (1) ethics committee approval; (2) procedure consent; (3) publishing consent; (4) authorship criteria; (5) conflict of interest; (6) duplicate publication; and (7) data integrity. Results were compared with our 2008 study data. Additionally, open access status, impact factor, and MEDLINE-indexing were explored.

RESULTS

Most journals heightened the ethical requirements for publishing, compared to the results of 2008. All 11 now require their published manuscripts to have data integrity. Ten of 11 require ethics committee approval and informed consent for the publication of research studies, whereas in the original study only 2 journals evidenced these requirements. Nine of 11 have criteria for authorship, require conflict of interest disclosure, and forbid duplicate publishing. None of the journals have a policy to exclude data that was obtained from unethical organ donation practices. Nine of 11 journals are MEDLINE-indexed but only 2 are open-access.

CONCLUSIONS

Most journals have improved their general ethical publishing requirements but none address unethical organ donation practices.

摘要

背景

由于知情同意存在问题以及将囚犯作为供体，中国的器官捐赠和移植在伦理上较为复杂。发表来自中国的相关作品可能存在问题。本研究的目的是对活跃于捐赠和移植领域出版的中文期刊进行为期10年的跟踪，以了解其出版指南的演变情况。

方法

对11种中文期刊的7个属性进行分析：（1）伦理委员会批准；（2）程序同意；（3）出版同意；（4）作者标准；（5）利益冲突；（6）重复发表；（7）数据完整性。将结果与我们2008年的研究数据进行比较。此外，还探讨了开放获取状态、影响因子和MEDLINE索引情况。

结果

与2008年的结果相比，大多数期刊提高了出版的伦理要求。所有11种期刊现在都要求其发表的手稿具有数据完整性。11种期刊中有10种要求研究性文章的发表需经过伦理委员会批准和获得知情同意，而在原研究中只有2种期刊有这些要求。11种期刊中有9种有作者标准，要求披露利益冲突并禁止重复发表。没有期刊制定政策排除从不道德器官捐赠行为中获取的数据。11种期刊中有9种被MEDLINE索引，但只有2种是开放获取期刊。
