Features: The future of culture will be a culture that integrates science and humanities, a culture of continuous blending of different cultures; future academic masters will emerge from the intersection and fusion 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 even the entire society. 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 into in-depth and detailed discussions on theoretical and practical aspects of "why unethical behavior occurs in the scientific community," "whether preventive methods for such behavior exist," and "how to regulate research ethics and morals." This book is suitable for personnel in research management departments, professionals in the sociology field, and general readers interested in scientific ethics.
