The dishonesty in scientific research in the publication of papers is usually investigated and dealt with by relevant academic journals, research institutions, government departments and industry associations.

Academic journals are an important channel to discover and expose dishonesty in scientific research. Once a paper is found to be unreliable in scientific research, academic journals usually start the investigation procedure immediately. They will organize a committee composed of peer experts to evaluate and review the problems and give corresponding suggestions. It may include retraction, retraction, etc.

Scientific research institutions also play an important role in the investigation of scientific research dishonesty. Especially for the problems related to researchers and their institutions, research institutions will conduct internal investigations and may take corresponding punishment measures. In addition, government departments play an important role in the investigation of scientific research dishonesty. For example, when public funds and scientific research projects are involved, government departments may organize special investigations to severely punish violations.

Finally, as an industry self-regulatory organization, trade associations also have the responsibility to participate in the investigation and punishment of scientific research dishonesty. They can organize experts to evaluate related issues and take corresponding industry self-discipline measures.

The seriousness of scientific research dishonesty in the publication of papers

1. Dishonesty in scientific research violates the basic principles of academic integrity and damages the authenticity and credibility of academic research. This behavior may lead other researchers to doubt in the research process, thus reducing the efficiency and credibility of scientific research cooperation.

2. Dishonesty in scientific research may also have a negative impact on the whole scientific research process. For example, false experimental results may mislead other researchers, causing them to waste time and resources to study non-existent problems. In addition, dishonesty in scientific research may also lead to real innovation and discovery being buried or ignored, thus hindering scientific progress.

3. Dishonesty in scientific research will also damage the reputation of relevant personnel and their institutions. Once dishonest behavior is found in scientific research, the personnel involved may be disqualified, fined or punished. At the same time, the institution may also suffer reputation loss and punishment.
