26、,one of us had the opportunity to speak with a medical student about a research rotation that the student was planning to do.She would be working with Dr.Z,who had given her the project of writing a paper for which he had designed the protocol,collected the data,and compiled the results.The student

27、was to do a literature search and write the first draft of the manuscript.For this she would become first author on the final publication.When concerns were raised about the proposed project,Dr.Z was shocked.l thought I was doing her a favor,he said innocently,and besides,I hate writing!Text A Why T

28、each Research EthicsText A Why Teach Research Ethics1.1.最近，我们当中的一员有机会与最近，我们当中的一员有机会与一名医科学生谈论她正计划要做的一名医科学生谈论她正计划要做的一个实验室轮转项目。她将与给她一个实验室轮转项目。她将与给她布置论文撰写任务的布置论文撰写任务的Dr.ZDr.Z一起完成一起完成该项目。该项目。Dr.ZDr.Z已经设计好研究工具，已经设计好研究工具，并收集数据，整理了实验结果。该并收集数据，整理了实验结果。该学生只需做做文献检索，然后撰写学生只需做做文献检索，然后撰写初稿。这样，在论文最终出版的时初稿。这样，在论文最终

29、出版的时候，她就可以成为第一作者。然而，候，她就可以成为第一作者。然而，当该项目受到越来越多非议时，当该项目受到越来越多非议时，Dr.ZDr.Z震惊之余无辜地说，震惊之余无辜地说，“我以为我以为我是在帮她，而我也确实讨厌写作我是在帮她，而我也确实讨厌写作”。Judy E.Stern&Deni ElliottJudy E.Stern&Deni Elliott2.Dr.Z is perhaps a bit naive.Certainly,most researchers would know that the students work would not merit first authorsh

30、ip.They would know that gift authorship is not an acceptable research practice.However,an earlier experience in our work makes us wonder.Several years ago,in conjunction with the grant from the Fund for the Improvement of Pott Secondary Education(FIPSE),a team of philosophers and scientists at Dartm

31、outh College 2 ran a University Seminar series for faculty on the topic Ethical Issues in scientific Research.2.Dr.Z或许有一点天真。当然，大多数研究人员都知道，该学生所做的工作并不称第一作者这个头衔。他们知道，这种“赠予”原创作者头衔的做法，并不是可以接受的科研行为。然而，早期的工作经验使我们产生疑问。若干年前，在高等教育改革（FIPSE）基金的援助下，一个由哲学家和科学家组成的团队在达特茅斯学院，为全体教员举办以“科学研究中的伦理问题”为主题的系列讲座。At one semin

32、ar,a senior researcher(lets call him Professor R)argued a similar position to that of Dr.Z.In this case Professor R knew that gift authorship,authorship without a significant research contribution,was an unacceptable research practice.However,he had a reason to give authorship to his student.在其中一次研讨

33、会上，一个资深研在其中一次研讨会上，一个资深研究员（让我们叫他究员（让我们叫他R R教授）与教授）与Dr.ZDr.Z持有相似的观点。在这个案例中，持有相似的观点。在这个案例中，R R教授明知道把原创作者身份教授明知道把原创作者身份“赠赠予予”没有研究贡献的人是不符合学没有研究贡献的人是不符合学术道德规范的。然而，他却有理由术道德规范的。然而，他却有理由给他的学生一个作者身份。给他的学生一个作者身份。The student had worked for several years on a project suggested by him and the project had yielded

34、to publishable data.Believing that he had a duty to the student to ensure a publication,Professor R had given the student some data that he himself had collected and told the student to write it up.The student had worked hard,he said,albeit on another project,and the student would do the writing.Thu

35、s,he reasoned,the authorship was not a gift.因因为这个学生已个学生已经在他所建在他所建议的的项目上花目上花费了几年的功了几年的功夫，然而却没能夫，然而却没能发表任何研表任何研究究结果。他果。他认为他有他有责任帮任帮助助这名学生名学生发表表论文。于是文。于是R R教授教授给了了该学生一些他自学生一些他自己收集的数据，己收集的数据，让其撰写一其撰写一篇篇论文。文。R R教授教授说这名学生名学生一直努力的做一直努力的做项目，尽管不目，尽管不是同一是同一项目，而且目，而且该生生还负责论文写作，所以他文写作，所以他认为原原创作者作者头衔并不算并不算“赠予予”。

36、3.These two stories point up a major reason for encouraging courses in research ethics:Good intentions do not necessarily result in ethical decisions.Both of the faculty members in the above scenarios meant well.In both cases,the faculty members truly believed that what they were doing was morally a

37、cceptable.In the first case,Dr.Zs indefensible error was that he was unaware of the conventions of the field.3.这两个故事都强调了推动开设科研伦理课程的重要性，即：并非好的意愿就能引导人们做出正确的道德选择。上述两个情节中的教师本意是好的。这两个案例中的教师认为他们所做的事情在道德层面上是可以接受的。在第一个案例中，Dr.Z的解释之所以站不住脚是因为他没有意识到这一领域的公约。In particular,he seemed blissfully oblivious to the mea

38、ning of first authorship.In the second case,Professor R was do ng what he thought best for the student without taking into consideration that moral.ty is a public system and that his actions with regard to a single student have public consequences for the practice of science as a profession.而他似乎也遗忘了

39、第一作者的概念。在第二个案例中，R教授自认为他所做的事情都是对他学生最有益的，然而却没有考虑道德是一个公共体系，他对这一名学生的做法却对科学研究产生了公共影响。4.Well-meaning scientists,such as those just mentioned,can,with the best of intentions,make unethical decisions.In some cases,such decisions may lead individuals to become embroiled in cases of misconduct.A course in res

40、earch ethics can help such scientists to appreciate that it is their responsibility to know professional conventions as well as to understand the public nature of morality.4.例如刚刚提到的那些善意的科学家，他们的意图是好的，但却做出了不道德的决定。一些情况下，这样的决定可能会导致个人卷入到学术不端的指控中。科研伦理课程可以帮助这样的科学家明白，他们有责任去了解职业惯例以及公共道德的本质。5.There are scient

41、ists for whom a course in research ethics will be less useful.Efraim Racker,in a 1989 article,described a student in his lab who was a professional fabricator of data.This student composed lab books without performing experiments,added radioactive material to gels to produce bands where he wished th

42、ose bands to be,and lied to his colleagues about his actions.Another researcher,Elias Alsabti,described by D.J.Miller,was a meticulous plagiarizer.5.对于有些科学家来说，科研伦理课程可能作用并不大。Efraim Racker在其1989年发表的文章中描述了一个他实验室里“专业的”数据造假者。这名学生没做实验就拼凑出实验书，在凝胶中添加放射性材料来合成他想要的绷带，并欺瞒他的同事。D.J.Miller描述的另一位研究者Elias Alsabti是一个

43、细心的剽窃者。This physician-researcher fabricated his curriculum vitae,copied a colleagues grant for his own use,published other peoples data under his own name,and co-authored his pilfered data with fictitious collaborators.Individuals such as these are unlikely to learn research ethics through instructi

44、on because they are not interested in becoming ethical practitioners.这位医师编造个人履历，抄袭同事的基金申请书为己所用，以个人名义发表他人数据，并虚构合作者一起用剽窃的数据合写论文。像这样的人是不会通过课程学习研究伦理的，因为他们对学术道德并不感兴趣。6.The ethics of scientific research is somewhat unique within professional ethics in the sense that good science requires the ethical pract

45、ice of science.Nevertheless,a course in research ethics cannot and should not have as its central focus the question,Why should I be moral?This question,while important,is not specific to the field of scientific research.6.某种程度上讲，科学研究伦理属于职业道德的范畴，并且是独一无二的。而一定意义上，好的科学研究要求符合道德规范的工作。然而，一门学术伦理课程不能够也不应该把“

46、我为什么应该遵守道德？”作为焦点问题。这个问题虽然重要，但并不只是具体针对学术研究领域。正如达特茅斯团队预想的那样，一门学术伦理课程必须教会大家如何就科学研究做出有道德的决策。这将是专门为那些致力于成为遵守道德规范的研究人员而设计的课程。这样的一门课程将会给学生提供这个问题的答案，“我怎样才能做出一个符合道德的决定？”A course in research ethics,as envisioned by the Dartmouth team,must be a course that teaches the tools for making ethical decisions relativ

47、e to matters of research.It will be designed for those scientists who are already committed to being ethical researchers.Such a course should provide students the answers to the question,How can I make moral decisions?7 Although it is the fabricators and the plagiarizers whom we most often think of

48、when we think of research misconduct,these are not the only people accused of misconduct.They are a so not the only people who are guilty of misconduct.Many other scientists have had live and careers affected by misconduct cases.7.虽然当我们思考学术不端时，大多数时候我们想到的是数据造假者或者剽窃者，但是这些人并不是唯一被指控学术不端的人。同样，他们也不是唯一被认定学

49、术不端的人。许多科学家的生活和事业都曾受到了学术不端事件的影响。8 It is undoubtedly unfair to generalize from a few cases of misconduct to an entire profession.Nevertheless,reported cases of misconduct are not uncommon,and this could reflect a failure to train students to the highest ethical standards.The 1993 Office of Research I
