摘要
简介:双重用途研究(DUR)是指具有潜在好处但可能被误用造成伤害的研究。关于durr的政策通常仅限于生命科学研究。然而,最近有证据表明,军民两用的研究可能会从生命科学扩展到人工智能(AI)。确保涉及双重用途的研究不被误用造成伤害的一种方法是审查科学期刊文章。期刊可能有政策来管理有潜在DUR问题的文章投稿。本研究比较了生命科学与人工智能期刊对DUR的政策。方法:利用谷歌Scholar Metrics和sciimago Journal and Country Rank对生命科学和人工智能领域排名前20位的出版物进行特定指标的筛选。检索了各期刊可公开访问的网站,以确定其关于DUR的出版政策。如果没有找到相关政策,我们会联系期刊和/或出版商。结果:在b谷歌Scholar中,12/20的“生命科学与地球科学”类期刊有durr政策;在Scimago, 9/16的“生物化学、遗传学和分子生物学”类别有政策;8/19的“免疫学和微生物学”类别有政策。对于AI期刊,b谷歌Scholar中2/13的期刊有政策;4/15来自Scimago的期刊有政策。结论:更多的生命科学期刊对如何处理与DUR相关的文章提交有现行政策。很少有人工智能期刊有相关政策。
Dual-Use Research and Publication Policies: A Comparison of Journals in Life Sciences and Artificial Intelligence.
Introduction: Dual-use research (DUR) describes research with potential benefits that could be misapplied for harm. Policy on DUR is often limited to life sciences research. However, recently, there have been demonstrations of how research with dual-use concerns may extend beyond the life sciences to artificial intelligence (AI). One method of ensuring that research with dual-use concerns is not misapplied for harm is by censoring scientific journal articles. Journals may have policy on managing article submissions with potential DUR concerns. This study compared the policies of life science and AI journals toward DUR.
Methods: Google Scholar Metrics and Scimago Journal and Country Rank were utilized to identify and select the top 20 publications in fields of life sciences and AI by specific metrics. The publicly accessible websites of each journal were searched to ascertain their publication policies regarding DUR. Journals and/or publishers were contacted if no policy was located.
Results: From Google Scholar, 12/20 journals within the "Life Sciences & Earth Sciences" category had policies on DUR; from Scimago, 9/16 of the "Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology" category had policies; and 8/19 of the "Immunology and Microbiology" category had policies. For AI journals, 2/13 journals from Google Scholar had policies; 4/15 journals from Scimago had policies.
Conclusion: More journals in the life sciences have extant policies on how to handle article submissions with DUR concerns. Very few AI journals have policies.
