Features: The future of culture will be a culture that integrates science and humanities, a culture of continuous fusion among different cultures; the future masters of academia will emerge from the intersection and integration of science, humanities, and different cultures. The compilation of the "Tsinghua New Humanities Series" reflects our fundamental thinking and judgment on the future of university culture, exploring and embodying an educational philosophy. Today, Tsinghua University should, in its development toward the future, inherit its fine traditions and make the communication and integration of the two cultures a new era's effort. The organization and publication of this "Tsinghua New Humanities Series · Science and Humanities Series" is one such effort. The ethical issues of scientists are currently drawing widespread attention from academia and society as a whole. This book focuses on the central issue of publishing research findings, examining various unethical behaviors that have emerged in international scientific activities. Against the backdrop of contemporary scientific and technological social development, the authors delve deeply into theoretical and practical aspects of questions such as "Why do unethical behaviors occur in the scientific community," "Are there preventive methods for such behaviors," and "How should ethical and moral norms be established in research." This book is suitable for personnel in research management departments, professionals in the sociology field, and general readers interested in scientific ethics.
