Since the medical research has becomes one of the basic responsibilities of medical staff, the education of medical research ethics plays a key role in standard transformation in the study of research ethics and publishing ethics. Based on the teaching of medical ethics for medial undergraduates, this paper discusses the feasibility of research ethics as the breakthrough point of medical ethics course to cultivate the scientific thought and ethic awareness of medical students, analyzes the shortages existing in the traditional teaching of medical ethics, and finally puts forward suggestions of the construction of medical humanism coping with the rapid improvement of medical science.
Medical ethic and publication ethic was more and more and important with the development of trial registration and systematic review registration promoted by the World Health Organization and the Cochrane Collaboration. Chinese Trial Registration and Publication Collaboration (ChiCTRPC) published the first statement to implement trial registration in China. We suggested that trial registration should be combined with ethic review and described the new definition of publication ethic in the second meeting by ChiCTRPC in 2010. In the the third meeting of ChiCTRPC in 2011, Experts from many fields communicated adequately and reached consensus. We summarized the experiences and lessons in the 5 years after the first statement of ChiCTRPC was published. Based on the latest progress of research ethic, publication ethic, trial registration, and systematic review registration, we drafted this explanation document for the second statement of ChiCTRPC to realize good research practice (RGP), good publication practice (GPP), and good translation practice (GTP) by implementing research ethic and publication ethic.
ObjectiveIn this study, we aimed to investigate the medical postgraduates’ attitudes on scientific misconduct activities to provide support to scientific research integrity education.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional survey in 3 medical schools in Sichuan province in September 2020. Medical postgraduates were investigated to report the sociodemographic information and self-attitude on research activities.ResultsOf the 983 students completed, 73.14% were pursuing the master program and 27.9% had published SCI papers. For attitudes on scientific misconduct activities, 0.93% agreed to change negative results picture into positive by software and 5.08% consented to modify data when P value was above 0.05 slightly.ConclusionsThe results of this study show that a small portion of medical postgraduates are still not resolute on academic misconduct. We should further strengthen education and establish the bottom line thinking which cannot be touched by the academic misconduct of medical postgraduates.
