During the period 1986-92, a questionnaire survey was conducted among research project administrators whose study protocols were assessed by the ethical committee for biomedical research in Health region 4 (Central Norway). The questions referred to the scientists' attitudes towards medical research ethics in general, and their views on the work of the committee. They were also asked to comment on seven statements about scientific fraud and misconduct. This paper presents data on misconduct from the 119 scientists who completed the questionnaire, i.e 70% of the 159 recipients. Some 40% claimed that scientific fraud is a problem in Norway, but 46% maintained that it is less so than in other countries. More than every fourth researcher (27%) knew of one or more cases of scientific misconduct, 42% stated that their knowledge was not publicly known. 18% felt that they had been exposed to misconduct themselves. A majority (60%) stated that a better system is needed to investigate claims of scientific fraud. The authors discuss these findings in relation to the personal characteristics and scientific qualifications of the researchers, and the current knowledge about the extent of scientific fraud in medicine.
在1986年至1992年期间，对研究项目管理人员进行了问卷调查，这些人员的研究方案由挪威中部第4健康区的生物医学研究伦理委员会进行评估。问题涉及科学家对医学研究伦理的总体态度，以及他们对委员会工作的看法。还要求他们对关于科研欺诈和不当行为的七条陈述发表评论。本文展示了119名完成问卷的科学家（即159名收件人中的70%）有关不当行为的数据。约40%的人声称科研欺诈在挪威是个问题，但46%的人坚称该国的情况不如其他国家严重。超过四分之一的研究人员（27%）知晓一宗或多宗科研不当行为案例，42%的人表示他们所了解的情况并未公开。18%的人觉得自己曾遭遇过不当行为。多数人（60%）表示需要一个更好的系统来调查科研欺诈指控。作者结合研究人员的个人特征和科学资质，以及当前关于医学领域科研欺诈程度的认知，对这些发现进行了讨论。
