撤销论文的科研合作特征探析

Analysis on Characteristics of Scientific Research Cooperation of Retracted papers

摘要:

在积极推动科研诚信建设的背景下,分析撤销论文的科研合作特征是建立良性的合作模式及科研秩序的重要视角。以撤稿观察数据库(RW)收录的社会科学、人文艺术、应用科学和自然科学四大领域共5884篇撤销论文为研究对象,分析不同领域撤销论文的合作规模、合作模式差异,并验证科研合作对撤销论文的影响。发现撤销论文中合作规模出现频次最高的为3—5人,其中国际合作年均占比20%左右,多数国家国际合作比例与撤销率呈负相关关系,跨国合作形式为南北合作的论文数量最多。合作形式、合作规模与撤销论文之间存在关联,在合作研究中存在更多的合作交流和相互监督机制,有助于减少不当行为的发生。

Abstract:

Under the background of actively promoting the construction of scientific research integrity, analysing the characteristics of scientific research cooperation of retracted papers is an important perspective to establish a benign cooperation mode and scientific research order. We used 5884 retracted papers of four fields in the Retraction Watch Database(RW), namely, social sciences, humanities and arts, applied sciences, and natural sciences, to analyze the differences in the scale and mode of cooperation among retracted papers in different fields, and to verify the influence of research cooperation on retracted papers. The highest frequency of collaboration scale is 3-5 persons, the average annual proportion of international collaboration is about 20%.The proportion of international collaboration is negatively correlated with the rate of withdrawal in most countries. And the number of papers with the form of collaboration as North-South collaboration is the highest. There is a correlation between the collaboration model ,the collaboration scale and the retracted papers. The more cooperative exchanges and mutual monitoring mechanisms in collaborative research, which can help reduce the occurrence of misconduct.
