Abstract

The issue of publishing ethics has been drawing attention from scholars of various fields, and this study focuses on the situation in translation and interpreting (T&I) studies. It surveys Chinese T&I researchers' publication pressure and its impact on their research quality and publishing ethics via an online questionnaire and follow-up telephone interviews. Altogether, 124 respondents filled out the questionnaire, and 14 of them took part in the interviews. Data analyses reveal that the pressure caused by the limited number of T&I journals is the highest, there is significant correlation between this type of pressure and publishing ethics, and there is also significant association between publication pressure and research quality. The follow-up interviews confirmed the findings, and the discussions with interviewees suggest that using alternative evaluation methods such as the representative work method might be a way out of the current publishing dilemma.

中国笔译学者发表压力及其对研究质量和出版伦理影响的问卷调查
出版伦理问题一直受到各领域学者的关注,本研究主要关注翻译研究的现状。本研究通过在线问卷调查和后续电话访谈,调查了中国科技工作者的出版压力及其对科研质量和出版伦理的影响。共有124名受访者填写了问卷,其中14人参加了访谈。数据分析显示,T&I期刊数量有限造成的压力最大,这种压力与出版伦理存在显著相关,出版压力与研究质量也存在显著相关。后续访谈证实了这一发现,与受访者的讨论表明,使用替代的评估方法,如代表性工作方法,可能是摆脱当前出版困境的一条出路。
