Five ways China must cultivate research integrity
Posted by Derick Lee in category: futurism

To better characterize the situation, my team has studied global retraction data alongside national grants and applications that were revoked.

These included experts on university ethics committees, programmes for research-integrity training and plagiarism detection, as well as funding-programme managers, journal editors and academics. Here, I outline major challenges in research integrity, and potential strategies and solutions to buttress it.
A swift increase in scientific productivity has outstripped the country’s ability to promote rigour and curb academic misconduct; it is time to seize solutions.
