Abstract
Journal editors often deal with allegations of research misconduct, defined by the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) in the United States as fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism. It is important that editors have a transparent and consistent process to deal with these allegations quickly and fairly. This process will include the authors and may include research integrity officers at the sponsoring institution as well as funders. Retractions may not be consistent with the ORI definition, for example, specifying inadequate peer-review and unreported conflict of interest, but nevertheless represent scientific misconduct.
期刊编辑经常处理研究不端行为的指控,美国研究诚信办公室(Office of research Integrity, ORI)将其定义为捏造、伪造和抄袭。重要的是,编辑有一个透明和一致的过程来快速和公平地处理这些指控。这一过程将包括作者,也可能包括赞助机构和资助者的研究诚信官员。撤回可能与ORI的定义不一致,例如,指出同行评审不足和未报告的利益冲突,但仍然代表科学不端行为。
