10种中华医学会系列杂志处理医学伦理问题的调查及分析

为了解我国医学期刊论文中处理医学伦理问题的现状,查阅了10种中华医学会系列杂志2009年发表的涉及人体的研究论文,以及这10种期刊稿约中关于医学伦理方面的要求,结果不是很满意。认为作者、审稿人和编辑应认识到科研要符合医学伦理,医学论文中对此要有所说明。这些要求是符合国际规范和要求的,是人类文明的体现。     

推进我国医学期刊稿约的规范化

将11种国内中文医学期刊与10种SCI收录的国外优秀期刊的稿约进行对比,分析其异同。结果显示:10种国外期刊稿约的信息量均较大,条款较多,各项条款的叙述详尽;而11种中文期刊中,部分期刊稿约过于简单,缺项较多。认为需要向国外优秀期刊学习,补充完善稿约,从而推进我国医学期刊稿约的规范化。     

中外生物医学期刊"更正"比较

"更正"是生物医学期刊栏目的组成部分,刊登更正是期刊的责任;然而,调查结果显示,国内期刊所载"更正"的质和量与国外期刊存在明显差异.认为:国内生物医学期刊编辑应摒弃陈旧观念,明确更正目的,倡导科学精神,树立职业道德,利用期刊自身的平台和网络及时更正错误信息,避免错误信息流传开来.     

Self‐citation in Chinese biomedical journals

We investigated the self‐citation rates of 884 Chinese biomedical journals, including 185 general medicine journals, 96 preventive medicine journals, 103 Chinese traditional medicine journals, 66 basic medicine journals, 370 clinical medicine journals, and 64 pharmaceutical journals. The average self‐citation rates of these journals for the years 2005–2007 were 0.113 ± 0.124, 0.099 ± 0.098 and 0.092 ± 0.089, respectively, i.e. a downward trend year by year. The upper limits of normal values of self‐citation rates for the same period were 0.316, 0.260 and 0.238, respectively. A significant difference was found in self‐citation rate between biomedical journals of different subjects. 52 Chinese biomedical journals had no self‐citation in 2007. The total citation frequency and impact factor of these 52 biomedical journals were 263 and 0.206, respectively, which were very much lower than the average levels of all Chinese biomedical journals in 2007. A self‐citation rate higher than the upper limit was considered as excessive self‐citation: 62 (7.01%), 68 (7.69%) and 66 (7.47%) biomedical journals showed excessive self‐citation in the years 2005–2007, respectively. However, a certain amount of self‐citation is reasonable and necessary.     

医学期刊编辑与伦理道德应对

医学作为一门直接面对人类的学科,不可避免地会遇到各类伦理道德问题。如何妥善处理来自医学论文和编辑工作中的伦理道德问题,是医学编辑人员面临的重大挑战。文章结合编辑实际工作,探讨国际上关注的若干编辑出版中的伦理道德问题。     

征稿简则的规范化探析

从科技期刊征稿简则的作用入手,参考国内外期刊中比较完整、规范的征稿简则,详细分析征稿简则的要素和如何撰写及其涉及的法律问题.认为:征稿简则作为科技期刊与作者和读者交流的重要窗口,应受到期刊编辑的重视;科技期刊编辑要通过实践探索,寻找到适合学科发展和信息传播的具有可操作性的征稿规则.     

中文核心医药期刊官网生物医学研究伦理审查制度建设现状与提升策略

对中文核心医药期刊官网中的生物医学研究伦理审查制度建设现状进行调查分析,为加强我国生物医学研究伦理审查制度建设提供参考.从《中文核心期刊要目总览(2017年版)》收录的255种医药期刊中随机选取100种中文核心医药期刊作为研究对象,登录这100种医药期刊官网,对生物医学研究伦理审查要求进行分析.结果 表明:在100种中文核心医药期刊官网中,稿约或投稿指南对生物医学研究伦理审查有要求的期刊51种,其中对临床试验伦理审查要求最多(49种期刊),对提供临床试验注册号要求最少(12种期刊);官网主页设置"医学伦理"栏目的 只有10种期刊,其中对临床试验伦理审查与动物实验伦理审查要求最多(9种期刊),只有3种期刊有上传生物医学研究伦理审查办法文件.有6种期刊在稿约对生物医学研究伦理学有要求的同时,在主页也设置了"医学伦理"栏目.可见,中文核心期刊官网对生物医学研究伦理审查不够重视,应进一步加强医学伦理审查制度的建设.科技期刊编辑部应与国际接轨,学习国际著名期刊的做法,更新办刊理念;利用好官网提供生物医学研究伦理学习资源,对作者进行医学伦理教育;应制定统一的生物医学研究伦理审查规范.     

对征稿简则中著作权有关问题的调查

为了有效预防和减少著作权纠纷,征稿简则中应明确规定科技期刊与作者的权利和义务。对114份征稿简则的调查发现,其中大部分存在与著作权相关的条款内容覆盖不完整,且行文不规范的问题。该文对存在的问题进行了剖析,并提出了相关建议。     

EndNote and Reference Manager Citation formats compared to "instructions to authors" in top medical journals

The study compared citation format in EndNote version 7 and Reference Manager version 11 with the citation format for references found in the instructions to authors from the most significant medical literature. The resulting information should be very useful to those who depend on citation management software to format and organize their references for publication in medicine, and librarians and others who teach the use of citation management software.     

Errata control in biomedical journals

Errata notices published in medical journals are investigated by (1) a six-month study of those currently received by a medium-sized medical library; (2) a survey on the way medical libraries handle them, and (3) interviews with researchers to determine their ideas about errata. Since there is a wide variation at present in errata control practices, the question is raised about the extent of a library's responsibility with regard to errata.     

科技期刊稿约中保密条款的设置

阐述科技期刊稿约中设置保密条款的现实意义;通过对广东省科技期刊稿约中保密条款设置情况的调查分析,发现科技编辑普遍对保密工作的重视不够.认为科技编辑应在稿约中按照相关保密法令、法规界定国家秘密及保密范围,强化作者的保密意识,并明确保密措施及方式.     

医学论文的题名分析

抽检了49种中华医学会系列杂志91期刊出的2693篇论文的题名,存在各种问题的有87篇,占3.2%.主要问题是没有准确表达文章的核心内容、文字表达累赘烦琐等.提出了题名的撰写及编排要求.     

Chinese academic journals: quality,issues and solutions

Twelve Chinese academic journals, indexed by SCI and financed by the National Natural Science Foundation (NNSF), were analysed using the 2000–2003 Total Citations and Impact Factor data from JCR. It is concluded that the quality of Chinese journals is generally low and has remained so despite recent government measures aimed at improvement. Several factors are influential – particularly the Chinese government's policy of encouraging submission to foreign journals. Finance, management, and the academic degree policy are also obstacles. It is suggested that the Chinese government should reconsider its current policies so as to encourage higher quality in domestic periodicals and thus a greater recognition of Chinese journals by the international academic community.     

中文综合性科技期刊专题出版选题方向探析

在当前大科学时代,学科之间不断渗透、交叉、融合,新兴学科不断涌现,很多研究成果涉及多学科前沿交叉领域,这为综合性科技期刊策划特色专题提供了更为广阔的发展空间与传播优势,也是体现其办刊风格、突显期刊特色的重要途径。通过总结《科技导报》近年来专题出版选题方向,表明其以内容建设为根本,策划出版的专题与国家重大战略和社会热点、国际科技前沿具有较好的契合度。结合办刊工作实践指出:中文综合性期刊在专题选题上应紧抓学科综合、内容全面、选题灵活这一特点;在选题方向上应加大以国家战略为导向的交叉领域专题、科技前瞻领域专题出版,快速响应社会热点及突发事件,履行社会责任;在办刊导向上应坚守办刊定位、突出办刊特色、提升服务能力,从而在内容上与国际接轨,在品格上立足中国特色,更好地服务于我国的科技发展。     

Shortcomings of peer review in biomedical journals

Peer review is well established across most academic disciplines, and publishers, editors, and researchers devote considerable resources to it. This paper uses examples from biomedical journals to examine its shortcomings. Although mainly anecdotal, the evidence suggests that peer review is sometimes ineffective at identifying important research and even less effective at detecting fraud. Most reviewers identify only the minority of a paper's defects and they may be biased. Peer review plus other editorial processes are associated with improvements in papers between submission and publication, but published papers remain hard to read and a significant proportion contain errors or omissions. While it is hard to quantify the costs, peer review does not seem an efficient use of resources. Research into the outcomes of peer review, the establishment of sound methods for measuring the quality of the process and its outcomes, and comparisons with alternative methods are needed.

Retraction policies of high-impact biomedical journals

Purpose: The purpose is to review the issue of retraction in the scientific literature and to examine the policies on retraction of major biomedical journals.Method: The historical background of this issue was investigated through a literature search. The Instructions to Authors of 122 major biomedical journals were reviewed for evidence of a policy on the retraction of articles. Editors of those journals with no mention of retraction in their Instructions to Authors were contacted by email and/or postal mail.Results: Sixty-two percent of the journals investigated did not post or report having a policy on issuing retractions. Only twenty-one (18%) did. The remainder did not post any policy and did not respond to inquiries.Discussion: Including policies in Instructions to Authors relating to the principled conduct of research and publication will improve the ethical environment in which the scientific community works.
