春雷一声震天响,井冈山回荡久长;赝品七十登雅堂,虎年开篇名声扬。 2009牛年刚过,2010虎年伊始,最受我国大陆地区作者青睐的《晶体学报E辑》(Acta Crystallographica Section E Structure Reports Online, 简称ACS-E),也是2007年我国入选SCI数据库论文来源最多的期刊,在2010年第一期的开篇却发表了苏格兰阿伯丁大学William T. A. Harrison,新西兰奥塔哥大学Jim Simpson以及奥地利维也纳理工大学Matthias Weil三位联合撰写的编者按,披露了井冈山大学H. Zhong和T. Liu二位涉及70篇论文造假之事,同期也刊登了二位以及论文合作者的撤稿声明。这种国内开花国外红的多篇造假事件的背后,值得我们反思的不仅仅是作者的诚信问题,更为重要的是我们的学术生态环境、科研成果评价体系。在名与利的诱惑之下,科学研究的初衷被严重扭曲了。《晶体学报E辑》有51%的作者来自CHINA,其他国家很少(详见: doi:10.1107/S1600536808042979 ; http://journals.iucr.org/e/contents/backissues.html )。表1统计结果除了特别注明来源于SCI或者ACS-E网站之外,均来自CA数据库。 表 1 《晶体学报 E 辑》论文来源统计结果 Year 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 影响因子 IF(SCI) 0.453 0.491 0.581 0.567 0.508 0.367 0.484 发表论文 / 篇 (ACS-E) 802 925 1305 1809 2887 3991 5181 3556 4162 中国论文 / 篇 60 129 327 728 1406 2085 2636SCI 1811SCI 1968(SCI) 论文来源单位 299 362 401 496 642 846 1066 985 1346(SCI) 中国论文来源单位 18 47 65 116 199 313 416 430 555(SCI) Authors from countries P ercentages China 51% India 6% USA 5% Germany 4% Malaysia 4% Iran 3% Pakistan 2% Other countries smaller 为什么近年来的论文造假事件频频出现?为什么总是有人敢于铤而走险?亡羊补牢的教训留给人们的启示究竟是什么?希望一声春雷能够带来中国大地学术生态环境新景象。 详细信息请参考: William T.
