Scientific societies play an important role in promoting and fostering research integrity. Through a comparative study between China and the United States based on information published over the internet, this article lays out some problems existing in Chinese scientific societies concerning the promotion of research integrity. Research integrity assumes only a minor presence in societies' policy texts, terms that are incorporated tend to be too general, and concrete action often remains superficial. To remedy these problems, this article makes five recommendations for scientific societies to put more emphasis on research integrity: (1) formulating more professional and specific norms; (2) launching dedicated columns or adding related articles in journals; (3) holding seminars and briefings; (4) setting up specialized committees; and (5) strengthening research integrity education. To supplement the realization of these goals, the article also suggests possible incentive measures.
科学学会在促进和培养研究诚信方面发挥着重要作用。本文通过对中美两国互联网上发布的信息进行比较研究,阐述了中国科学学会在促进研究诚信方面存在的一些问题。诚信研究在学会的政策文本中只占很小的比重,所采用的术语往往过于笼统,具体行动也往往流于表面。为了解决这些问题,本文为科学学会提出了五点加强研究诚信的建议:(1)制定更专业、更具体的规范;(2)在期刊上开辟专门栏目或增加相关文章;(3)举办研讨会和情况通报会;(4)设立专门委员会;(5)加强研究诚信教育。为了补充实现这些目标,本文还提出了一些可能的激励措施。
