摘要: 20世纪80年代以来,我国对学界科研诚信问题的治理方式经历了不同的阶段。文章以国家科技部2006年《国家科技计划实施中科研不端行为处理办法(试行)》(简称《办法》)和2019年《科研诚信案件调查处理规则(试行)》(简称《规则》)的文本分析入手,通过对比两者关于科研不端行为的定义、处理流程、处理结果及对申诉程序的说明,探讨我国政府对科研不端行为治理的发展历程及阶段特点;总结国家层面上治理思路与措施的演进过程,并对其中的变化、问题和未来发展给出了分析和建议。作者认为,国家应通过制度建设不断加强科研诚信管理与治理,通过政策引导系统改善科技创新生态体系,加强科研伦理的教育和普及,以促进我国科技事业更加健康的稳步发展,有效防范科技政策风险。

Abstract:     Since the 1980s, China has paid more and more attention to the integrity of scientific research. Based on the reorganization of the important events of the national scientific research integrity norms, this article discusses the four stages of the historical evolution of the governance of Chinese government′s scientific research integrity, namely, "pre-governance" stage, "divided governance" stage, "joint governance" stage and "systematic governance" stage. At the same time, it selects two important governance norms in the historical evolution:The Measures for the Treatment of Scientific Research Misconduct in the Implementation of National Science and Technology Plan (Trial) of the Ministry of Science and Technology in 2006 (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures") and the Rules for the Investigation and Treatment of Scientific Research Integrity Cases (Trial) in 2019 (hereinafter referred to as the "Rules"). 
   Taking these two norms as an example, starting with text analysis, and through comparing the definition of scientific research misconduct, procedures and results of the treatment, and appeal procedures between them, this paper discusses the development processes, stage characteristics and evolution trend of government governance of scientific research misconduct in China; it also summarizes the evolution process of governance ideas and measures at the national level, and gives analysis and suggestions on the changes, problems and future development. 
   There are four trends in the evolution of norms formulation: First, the formulation of norms puts more emphasis on the integrity awareness of scientific research subjects, and the management department changes its idea from preventing misconduct in scientific research activities to advocating personal honesty consciousness. Second, the normative formulation has shifted from lagging to foreseeable, widened the scope of governance gradually, increased the types of scientific research dishonesty have increased, and emphasized that the forbidden area of scientific research behavior should cover the whole process of scientific research activities, so as to lay an operable foundation for the follow-up strict governance. Third, the implementation of standards or norms is from departmental governance to national governance, so that the main body of governance is clear, and the division of responsibilities of misconduct investigation department is well defined. Fourthly, the ethical issues of scientific research are received more attention and solutions. 
   The author found that, from the effect point of view, the formulation of the rules has not been able to stop a large number of manuscript retraction and scientific research integrity problems. From the difficulties of governance, we can also see the key problem of integrity governance is the relationship between governance and guidance. Therefore, the author believes that the governance of scientific research integrity should not only deal with the back-end from the formulation of rules, but also needs to dig deep into the root causes to find out the inducing mechanism of scientific research integrity in the scientific research ecosystem. 
   In order to establish an innovative scientific research ecosystem, the State should first reduce the government′s evaluation of scientific research personnel, give full play to the role of scientific research innovation subjects, and let scientific research institutions lead the academic evaluation; In the meantime, it is necessary to strengthen the formulation and publicity of scientific research integrity and ethical norms, and advocate good study style and responsible researchers. An effective governance system of scientific research integrity should start with improving the ecological system of scientific and technological innovation.
