Abstract

Integrity in research is essential so that research can do what it is supposed to do: help us discover - or get closer to - the truth about the world and how it works. Research integrity means conducting oneself in ways that are worthy of the trust that the public invests in science. Efforts over the past five decades to ensure that researchers conduct themselves with integrity have focused on regulating researcher behavior. The suite of regulatory requirements - over 100 of them - is typically managed by an office of research compliance at universities and research institutions. The regulations, and the accompanying rules and policies, have created a regulatory-industrial complex that, while necessary, should give us pause. With the proliferation of regulations, professional organizations and certifications blossom, providing much-needed training and vouching for expertise in particular regulations. This credibility is crucial, but it also gives a false impression that we can regulate our way to ethical science. Creating a regulatory-industrial complex will not achieve our goal of an ethical research enterprise. We need to build ethical institutional cultures, engage the commitment of the entire research enterprise, and do the hard work of holding accountable the entire research ecosystem.

研究诚信与监管工业综合体。
科研诚信至关重要,只有这样,科研才能发挥其应有的作用:帮助我们发现--或接近--世界的真相以及世界是如何运转的。科研诚信意味着科研人员的行为要对得起公众对科学的信任。过去五十年来,确保研究人员诚信行事的努力主要集中在规范研究人员的行为上。大学和研究机构的研究合规办公室通常负责管理 100 多项监管要求。这些法规以及随之而来的规则和政策已经形成了一个监管工业综合体,虽然有必要,但也应该引起我们的警惕。随着法规的激增,专业组织和认证也如雨后春笋般涌现,提供了急需的培训,并为特定法规方面的专业知识提供了担保。这种可信度至关重要,但也给人一种错觉,以为我们可以通过监管来实现合乎道德的科学。建立一个监管工业综合体并不能实现我们建立一个合乎伦理的研究企业的目标。我们需要建立合乎伦理的机构文化,让整个研究企业都参与进来,并为整个研究生态系统承担责任而付出艰辛的努力。
