医学“枪手”论文的特征及识别分析

Characteristics and recognitions of medical ghostwriting papers

【目的】分析医学期刊论文来稿中的可疑"枪手"论文的明显特征,以提高编辑审查意识。【方法】通过文献查阅、案例汇总等方法,从作者署名、稿件内容、撰写形式等方面总结"枪手"论文的特征。【结果】随着各类中英文反剽窃软件的普及,论文剽窃现象有所减少,而"枪手"论文却与剽窃呈此消彼长之势。编辑可以通过作者署名,稿件内容,稿件类型,字体、格式这4个相关问题中寻找"枪手"论文的线索并加以识别。【结论】"枪手"论文相对剽窃而来的论文更隐蔽,很难通过工具发现,主要依靠编辑同行在编辑工作中加强对可疑稿件的审核。期待国家相关部门加强对代笔论文交易链的打击,净化学术环境。
