Abstract

The words integrity, ethics, and governance are used interchangeably in relation to research. This masks important differences that must be understood when trying to address concerns regarding research culture. While progress has been made in identifying negative aspects of research culture (such as inequalities in hiring/promotion, perverse incentives, etc.) and practical issues that lead to research waste (outcome reporting bias, reproducibility, etc.), the responsibility for addressing these problems can be unclear due to the complexity of the research environment. One solution is to provide a clearer distinction between the perspectives of "Research Integrity," "Research Ethics," and "Research Governance." Here, it is proposed that Research Integrity should be understood as focused on the character of researchers, and consequently the responsibility for promoting it lies primarily with researchers themselves. This is a different perspective from Research Ethics, which is focused on judgments on the ethical acceptability of research, and should primarily be the responsibility of research ethics committees, often including input from the public as well as the research community. Finally, Research Governance focuses on legal and policy requirements, and although complementary to research integrity and ethics, is primarily the responsibility of expert research support officers with the skills and experience to address technical compliance.

良好研究的三位一体:区分研究诚信、伦理和管理。
在研究方面,诚信、道德和管理这三个词被交替使用。这掩盖了重要的区别,在试图解决有关研究文化的问题时,必须理解这些区别。虽然在确定研究文化的消极方面(如聘用/晋升不平等、不正当激励等)和导致研究浪费的实际问题(结果报告偏差、可重复性等)方面已经取得了进展,但由于研究环境的复杂性,解决这些问题的责任可能并不明确。解决方案之一是更明确地区分 "研究诚信"、"研究伦理 "和 "研究管理"。在此,建议将 "研究诚信 "理解为侧重于研究人员的品格,因此,促进研究诚信的责任主要在于研究人员本身。这与 "研究伦理 "的观点不同。"研究伦理 "侧重于对研究的伦理可接受性做出判断,主要应由研究伦理委员会负责,通常包括公众和研究界的意见。最后,"研究管理 "侧重于法律和政策要求,虽然与研究诚信和伦理相辅相成,但主要应由具备处理技术合规问题的技能和经验的专业研究支持人员负责。

期刊介绍: Accountability in Research: Policies and Quality Assurance is devoted to the examination and critical analysis of systems for maximizing integrity in the conduct of research. It provides an interdisciplinary, international forum for the development of ethics, procedures, standards policies, and concepts to encourage the ethical conduct of research and to enhance the validity of research results. The journal welcomes views on advancing the integrity of research in the fields of general and multidisciplinary sciences, medicine, law, economics, statistics, management studies, public policy, politics, sociology, history, psychology, philosophy, ethics, and information science. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees.
