作者基本信息在稿件真实性审查中的应用

Investigating authenticity of manuscripts by checking basic information of authors

以《肝胆胰外科杂志》编辑部2015-01—2016-07发现的疑似代写代投的86名作者的基本信息及其所投的93篇稿件为研究对象,分析发现:这些稿件的作者信息量少,部分作者手机号码与单位归属地不符,邮箱、用户名、密码呈以"作者姓名+后缀"批量化命名,与作者沟通也有较多疑点;稿件学术不端检测重复率虽低,但一稿多投现象严重,数据经不起推敲,某些特殊格式也有迹可循。通过对作者基本信息进行审查,编辑特别是初审编辑可以尽早发现代写代投稿件,提高工作效率,减少人力、物力和财力损失。

Ecology and order of academic sphere are seriously affected by ghostwriting. In this paper, we analyzed the basic information of 86 authors and their 93 articles collected from January 2015 to July 2016 which were suspected as ghostwriting in our journal. We found that these authors generally registered very little basic information, and mobile phone number of some authors did not match the district of their institutions. The mailbox, user name and password were named by authors＇ name attached with suffixes, which may be the trend of ghostwriting. We also found many doubts during communication with these authors. Academic misconduct literature check （AMLC check ） results of these manuscripts were low. A majority of these manuscripts were multiply submitted. Data of these manuscripts did not withstand the close scrutiny. According to some of the special formats we can also find out these ghostwritten manuscripts. In conclusion, by checking the basic information of the authors, editors especially the first trial editor, can find out ghostwritten manuscripts early, which can improve work efficiency, and reduce human, material and financial losses.
