Abstract

The medical field is highly susceptible to research misconduct, making research integrity in medical universities and colleges crucial for its prevention and management. While both Chinese and international researchers have conducted extensive studies on fostering research integrity in higher education institutions, comparative analyses focusing specifically on medical universities and colleges in China remain insufficient. To address this gap, this study examines the state of research integrity construction in 83 Chinese public medical universities/colleges during 2020 and 2024, exploring the underlying factors influencing this development. The findings indicate that research integrity initiatives in Chinese medical universities and colleges are predominantly reactive, driven by compliance with government regulations and mandated tasks, rather than proactive, guided by intrinsic awareness and moral commitment. These results underscore the need to go beyond addressing Two-Points to emphasize Key-Points, advocating for a greater role of scientific autonomy in shaping research integrity, as opposed to reliance on government oversight.

2020-2024年中国公立医学院校科研诚信建设比较研究

医学领域极易发生科研不端行为，因此医学院校的科研诚信对于预防和管理科研不端行为至关重要。虽然中国和国际研究人员都对促进高等教育机构的研究诚信进行了广泛的研究，但专门针对中国医科大学和学院的比较分析仍然不足。为了解决这一差距，本研究对中国83所公立医学院校2020年和2024年的科研诚信建设状况进行了调查，探讨了影响这一发展的潜在因素。研究结果表明，中国医学院校的科研诚信举措主要是被动的，受政府法规和授权任务的驱动，而不是主动的，受内在意识和道德承诺的指导。这些结果强调需要超越两点，强调关键点，倡导科学自主在塑造研究诚信方面发挥更大的作用，而不是依赖政府监督。

期刊介绍： Science and Engineering Ethics is an international multidisciplinary journal dedicated to exploring ethical issues associated with science and engineering, covering professional education, research and practice as well as the effects of technological innovations and research findings on society. While the focus of this journal is on science and engineering, contributions from a broad range of disciplines, including social sciences and humanities, are welcomed. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, ethics of new and emerging technologies, research ethics, computer ethics, energy ethics, animals and human subjects ethics, ethics education in science and engineering, ethics in design, biomedical ethics, values in technology and innovation. We welcome contributions that deal with these issues from an international perspective, particularly from countries that are underrepresented in these discussions.
