Multi-institutional scientific research projects are increasingly common. Nevertheless, regulations and guidelines do not yet adequately address which entity should assume responsibility for research misconduct proceedings in multi-institutional research. This article explores the challenges of determining jurisdictional roles in research misconduct matters in collaborative science and proposes the application of a "jurisdictional interests test" as a framework for determining jurisdiction in multi-institutional research misconduct proceedings.
多机构科研项目越来越普遍。然而,法规和指南尚未充分解决在多机构研究中应由哪个实体对研究不当行为程序负责的问题。本文探讨了在合作科研中确定研究不当行为事件管辖权角色的挑战,并提出应用“管辖权利益测试”作为确定多机构研究不当行为程序管辖权的框架。
