Chinese Academy of Sciences: To protect the signature right of graduate students, the Scientific Research Ethics Committee of Chinese Academy of Sciences once again stressed that "the basic signature right of graduate students who directly conduct scientific experiments shall not be infringed, and students' signatures and their signature positions shall not be adjusted at will to balance other non-academic interests. "Chinese Academy of Sciences: Protecting the right of authorship of graduate students.
Chinese Academy of Sciences: Protect the right of authorship of graduate students 1 As a graduate student, I have worked hard for several years, but the final result has nothing to do with myself; Working with the tutor, I worked hard from beginning to end, but in the end, even my name could not appear ... All kinds of violations of students' academic signature rights have always been a "hidden pain" in the hearts of many university graduate students. In the binary relationship of "tutor-student", students are often in a weak position. Individual misbehaving tutors regard students as free "academic outsourcers". Students affected by it often lack effective ways to protect their rights, and even remain silent for fear of being "hard pressed" in graduation and job hunting.
On February 18, according to the China Youth Daily, the reporter learned from the China Academy of Sciences that the Scientific Research Ethics Committee of the Academy recently issued the Notice on Standardizing the List of Negative Behaviors of Academic Writing. The Notice lists seven kinds of negative behaviors of academic works, among which Article 7 specifically regulates the behaviors that infringe on students' right of signature. The notice requires that researchers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences "shall not infringe upon the basic right of authorship of graduate students who directly conduct scientific experiments" and "shall not arbitrarily adjust students' signatures and positions in order to balance other non-academic interests". Once someone has the behavior listed in the negative list, the corresponding responsible unit will investigate, identify and deal with it according to the specific facts and relevant circumstances, and investigate the behavior that seriously violates the requirements of scientific research integrity for life.
As the highest academic institution of natural science in China, the regulations issued by the Chinese Academy of Sciences can only restrain the scientific researchers under its management, but it is undoubtedly of certain guiding significance to the academic circles in China. Infringement of students' right of signature can be specifically included in the negative list of academic works, and "lifelong accountability" is emphasized, which shows that in the view of Chinese Academy of Sciences, this is not a trivial matter, but a serious academic misconduct.
Although there are many graduate students in the scientific research system, their experience and knowledge generally need to be honed, and they may not stay in the academic circle in the future, and their contribution may be limited. However, even if students just do "hard work" such as repeating experiments, collecting data and sorting out documents, they should fully respect their intellectual labor achievements. For a paper, a monograph and a project, even a small contribution should be respected and recognized.
Those tutors who infringe on the students' signature right either deliberately take the students' credit for themselves or don't take the students' contribution seriously at all. The essence of the former is no different from plagiarism, while the latter is full of arrogance caused by tutor power. No matter what the motivation, this kind of behavior should be unanimously spurned by the academic community. Academic institutions take the initiative to show a hellish attitude of pursuing the end, which can not only shock researchers and suppress the thoughts of those with ulterior motives, but also encourage those students who have been infringed to stand up bravely, take action and actively defend their rights.
In some cases, whether you can sign your name on an academic achievement may be related to the future of graduate students and may also have a greater impact on their economic interests. At this time, how to sign the names of students and how to determine the order of signing are by no means things that can be fooled by just one sentence. Sometimes, students are not very interested in specific works, but even so, whether they can put their names on academic achievements is related to their personality and dignity. In order to protect the actual interests of students, it is of great significance to strengthen the protection of students' signature rights. Now the Chinese Academy of Sciences has issued regulations to clearly regulate this, and major academic institutions may wish to follow up in time to effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of students.
Chinese Academy of Sciences: Protecting Postgraduates' Right of Signature 2 The Scientific Research Ethics Committee of Chinese Academy of Sciences recently issued the Notice on Standardizing the List of Negative Behaviors of Academic Works Signature (hereinafter referred to as the Notice), listing seven negative behaviors of academic works signature, and re-emphasizing that "the basic right of signature of postgraduates who directly carry out scientific experiments shall not be infringed, and students' signatures and their positions shall not be arbitrarily adjusted to balance other non-academic interests. "
This is the second time that China Academy of Sciences issued the "Honesty Reminder for Frequently Asked Questions or Mistakes in Academic Paper Signature" on 20 18, in order to advocate honesty and trustworthiness in scientific research practice, and once again issued the academic paper signature specification to the whole hospital of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The list of negative behaviors mentioned in the notice includes: it is forbidden to falsely use the author's signature and fictional author's signature. It is forbidden for people who have not made substantial contributions to participate in the signature. Honorary signature, gift signature, interest exchange signature or entrainment signature are prohibited. Without the unanimous consent of all authors, it is forbidden to determine the order of signature (unless otherwise stipulated by disciplines and periodicals). The basic right of authorship of graduate students who directly conduct scientific experiments shall not be infringed. Students' signatures and their positions shall not be adjusted at will to balance other non-academic interests.
The "Notice" clarifies that in order to implement the "zero tolerance" requirement, when the scientific research personnel of the Chinese Academy of Sciences appear on the list, they will be investigated by the corresponding first responsible unit in accordance with relevant regulations, and will be identified and handled according to specific facts and relevant circumstances. Serious violations of scientific research integrity requirements will be investigated for life.
Chinese Academy of Sciences: Protecting the right of signature of graduate students Three days ago, the Scientific Research Ethics Committee of the Chinese Academy of Sciences issued the Notice on Standardizing the List of Negative Behaviors in the Signature of Academic Works (hereinafter referred to as the Notice), listing seven types of negative behaviors in the signature of academic works.
The list of negative behaviors includes: it is forbidden to falsely use the author's signature and fictional author's signature; It is forbidden for people who have no substantial contribution to participate in the signature, and it is forbidden to sign with honor, gift, interest exchange or entrainment; Without the unanimous consent of all authors, it is forbidden to determine the order of signature (unless otherwise stipulated by disciplines and periodicals). After the book is notified by the editorial department of the journal, all authors are not allowed to modify the signature order at will; When signing the first author or correspondent, don't violate the principle of necessity, list too many first authors or correspondent, and don't refuse to be responsible for the whole paper because there are more than one first author or correspondent; The main finishing unit of the work shall not be changed at will because of the change of the author unit, and the author unit shall not be fabricated or forged, and the unfinished finishing unit of the work shall not be used as the signature unit; Do not use informal contact information as the contact information of the author of the work, for example, use social communication methods such as public mailbox as the contact information; Do not deliberately exclude scientific researchers who have made important contributions to participate in the signature. The basic signature right of graduate students who directly conduct scientific experiments shall not be infringed, and the student's signature and its position shall not be adjusted at will in order to balance other non-academic interests.
The notice also pointed out that when researchers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences appear on the list, they will be investigated by the corresponding first responsible unit in accordance with relevant regulations, and will be identified and dealt with according to specific facts and relevant circumstances. Serious violations of scientific research integrity requirements will be investigated for life.
This is the academic paper signature specification that advocates honesty and trustworthiness in scientific research practice, which was issued by China Academy of Sciences to the whole hospital after the publication of "Reminder of Common Problems or Mistakes in Academic Paper Signature" on 20 18.
