We argue that editorial independence, through robust practice of publication ethics and research integrity, promotes good science and prevents bad science. We elucidate the concept of research integrity, and then discuss the dimensions of editorial independence. Best practice guidelines exist, but compliance with these guidelines varies. Therefore, we make recommendations for protecting and strengthening editorial independence.
我们认为,通过严格践行出版伦理和研究诚信来实现编辑独立性,能够促进优秀科学成果的产出,防止不良科学行为的发生。我们阐明了研究诚信的概念,然后讨论了编辑独立性的各个方面。虽然存在最佳实践指南,但对这些指南的遵守情况各不相同。因此,我们提出了保护和加强编辑独立性的建议。
