associate professor yin bo pointed out the achievements and shortcomings of china's scientific research integrity construction in working mechanism, system standardization, education guidance, supervision and punishment, etc. he pointed out many risks that may arise from dishonesty in scientific research, and put forward that the treatment of honesty in scientific research should be legalized and standardized. he analyzed the different subjects and their value criteria of the investigation and handling norms of scientific research integrity cases.
associate professor yin bo believed that the formulation and formation of norms should not be biased, but should be carried out on the holistic approach that takes into account all kinds of value standards, and should be properly balanced on the conflict side. when formulating the investigation and handling norms of scientific research honesty cases, we can consider the concept of replacing scientific research (academic) misconduct with the unified control of scientific research dishonesty. taking analytical positivism as the logical origin, he scientifically recognized that legal positivism only provides the lowest level of narrative norms, and does not exclude the evaluative influence of morality, policy and reality. all the wisdom of legislation should be fully applied to the formulation of norms, and the upper norms should be systematically sorted out by hierarchy legislation theory, coded and arranged, and binding norms should be arranged according to the upper and lower hierarchy. on this basis, we should reasonably balance the autonomy needs of the scientific community with the needs of administrative management, and form a set of normative system to balance the relationship between scientific ethics and scientific research supervision.
yin bo put forward that the current order should be regarded as the premise and systematic interpretation should be carried out based on this, so as to properly solve the practical problems in the investigation and handling of scientific research integrity cases. in the process of interpretation, we should implement the basic idea of procedural justice and fully guarantee the procedural rights of the parties. subsequently, associate professor yin bo analyzed the normative effectiveness of rules for investigation and handling of scientific research integrity cases (trial) (i.e. document no.323) one by one, taking some cases of scientific research integrity as examples.
