Bullying in academic science is a growing concern. It may vary in severity from insults, snubs, or invasions of privacy to violations of intellectual property and unfair crediting of authors. In extreme cases it may even include coercing lab workers to sign away rights to authorship or even intellectual property. Cumbersome institutional protocols and fears of reprisal may discourage targets of bullying from reporting such incidents; lab workers in the US on visas may feel especially vulnerable. Possible strategies to combat bullying include detailed examination of relevant documentation for signs of coercion or inaccuracy and specific training on reporting for those at risk of abuse.
学术科学界的欺凌现象日益受到关注。其严重程度各不相同，从侮辱、冷落、侵犯隐私到侵犯知识产权以及不公正地署名作者。在极端情况下，甚至可能包括强迫实验室工作人员放弃著作权乃至知识产权。繁琐的机构程序以及对报复的恐惧可能会阻碍欺凌行为的受害者举报此类事件；持签证在美国工作的实验室工作人员可能会觉得格外脆弱。应对欺凌的可能策略包括详细审查相关文件以查找胁迫或不准确的迹象，以及为有受虐风险的人员提供关于举报的专门培训。
