Abstract:
Objective:Through text mining, to clarify the change characteristics and evolution patterns of China's scientific research integrity policies, thereby providing a reference basis for the formulation and implementation of medical scientific research integrity governance policies.Methods:Using cost-CM6 and SPSS software, co-word analysis, social semantic network, and cluster analysis methods, data mining was conducted on 297 national scientific research integrity policy texts from 2002 to 2021.Results:China′s research integrity policies have experienced three development stages: academic ethics construction period(2002-2008), research integrity construction period(2009-2015), and academic environment optimization period(2016-2021), with the rapid development of both quantity and quality of policies, gradual clarification of rules for investigation and handling of research integrity cases, continuous improvement of accountability mechanism, and more powerful disciplinary measures for dishonesty. The construction of scientific research integrity formed a joint force pattern under the leadership of the central government and coordinated governance of multiple departments. Research misconduct incidents and public concern accelerated the improvement of the scientific research credibility policy system. Adhere to" no exclusion zone, full coverage, zero tolerance" has become the work guide of scientific research integrity governance.Conclusions:It is suggested to continuously improve the effectiveness of medical research integrity governance by strengthening medical integrity education and enhancing self-discipline consciousness, improving supervision mechanisms, strengthening process management and plagiarism checking of medical achievements, and adopting a two-pronged approach of " severe punishment" and " good governance" .
