Features: The future of culture will be a culture that integrates science and humanities, a culture of continuous blending of different cultures; the 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, and is an exploration and embodiment of educational philosophy.

The ethical issues of scientists are currently attracting widespread attention from academia and even the entire society. This book focuses on the central issue of the publication of research findings, examining various unethical behaviors that have emerged in international scientific activities. Against the backdrop of contemporary scientific and technological social development, the author conducts an in-depth and detailed exploration of such questions as "Why do unethical behaviors occur in the scientific community," "Are there preventive methods for these unethical behaviors," and "How should the ethics and morals in research be regulated," from both theoretical and practical perspectives. This book is suitable for personnel in research management departments, professionals in the field of sociology, and general readers interested in scientific ethics.
