35、condary Education(FIPSE),a team of philosophers and scientists at Dartmouth 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”原创作者头衔做法,并不是能够接收科研行为。然而,早期工作经验使我们产生疑问。若干年前,在高等教育改革(FIPSE)基金援助
36、下,一个由哲学家和科学家组成团体在达特茅斯学院,为全体教员举行以“科学研究中伦理问题”为主题系列讲座。第27页At one seminar,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 practic
37、e.However,he had a reason to give authorship to his student.在其中一次研讨会上,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持有相同观点。在这个案例中,持有相同观点。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“赠予赠予”没有研究贡献人是不符合学术道没有研究贡献人是不符合学术道德规范。然而,他却有理由给他学德规范。然而,他却有理由给他学生一个作者身份。生一个作者身份。第28页The student had worked for several y
38、ears on a project suggested by him and the project had yielded 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,alb

40、直努力做项目,尽管不是同一项目,做项目,尽管不是同一项目,而且该生还负责论文写作,而且该生还负责论文写作,所以他认为原创作者头衔并所以他认为原创作者头衔并不算不算“赠予赠予”。第29页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 w
41、ell.In both cases,the faculty members truly believed that what they were doing was morally acceptable.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进开设科研伦理课程主要性,即:并非好意愿就能引导人们做出正确道德选择。上述两个情节中教师本意是好。这两个案例中教师认为他们所做事情在道德层面上是能够接收。在第一个案例中,Dr
42、.Z解释之所以站不住脚是因为他没有意识到这一领域条约。第30页In particular,he seemed blissfully oblivious to the meaning 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
43、 student have public consequences for the practice of science as a profession.而他似乎也遗忘了第一作者概念。在第二个案例中,R教授自认为他所做事情都是对他学生最有益,然而却没有考虑道德是一个公共体系,他对这一名学生做法却对科学研究产生了公共影响。第31页4.Well-meaning scientists,such as those just mentioned,can,with the best of intentions,make unethical decisions.In some cases,such dec
44、isions may lead individuals to become embroiled in cases of misconduct.A course in research 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.比如刚才提到那些善意科学家,他们意图是好,但却做出了不道德决定。一些情况下,这么
45、决定可能会造成个人卷入到学术不端指控中。科研伦理课程能够帮助这么科学家明白,他们有责任去了解职业通例以及公共道德本质。第32页5.There are scientists 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 e
46、xperiments,added radioactive material to gels to produce bands where he wished those 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年发表文章中描述了一个他试验室里“专业”数据造假者。这
47、名学生没做试验就拼凑出试验书,在凝胶中添加放射性材料来合成他想要绷带,并欺瞒他同事。D.J.Miller描述另一位研究者Elias Alsabti是一个细心剽窃者。第33页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.In
48、dividuals such as these are unlikely to learn research ethics through instruction because they are not interested in becoming ethical practitioners.这位医师编造个人履历,剽窃同事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数据合写论文。像这么人是不会经过课程学习研究伦理,因为他们对学术道德并不感兴趣。第34页6.The ethics of scientific research is somewhat unique withi
49、n professional ethics in the sense that good science requires the ethical practice 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.
50、6.某种程度上讲,科学研究伦理属于职业道德范围,而且是独一无二。而一定意义上,好科学研究要求符合道德规范工作。然而,一门学术伦理课程不能够也不应该把“我为何应该恪守道德?”作为焦点问题。这个问题即使主要,但并不只是详细针对学术研究领域。第35页正如达特茅斯团体预想那样,一门学术伦理课程必须教会大家怎样就科学研究做出有道德决议。这将是专门为那些致力于成为恪守道德规范研究人员而设计课程。这么一门课程将会给学生提供这个问题答案,“我怎样才能做出一个符合道德决定?”A course in research ethics,as envisioned by the Dartmouth team,must
