对医学期刊编辑的生物医学研究伦理审核意识的调研及建议

Survey and suggestions on awareness of editors in medical journals on biomedical research ethics review

生物医学研究涉及很多医学研究伦理内容,编辑对论文中医学研究伦理的把关至关重要。本文通过问卷调研了228名医学期刊编辑的生物医学研究伦理审核意识,发现编辑对相关的医学研究伦理问题不是很了解,并且只有53.07%的编辑会经常要求作者提供相关医学研究伦理证明材料,大多数编辑所在期刊对论文中医学研究伦理内容只是进行了形式上的检查,没有要求作者提供如伦理审批件等的原始证明材料。据此提出,医学期刊编辑应了解科研人员在生物医学研究中应当遵循的科研伦理规范,掌握期刊编辑出版中关于生物医学研究伦理要求,提高审稿时对医学研究伦理内容的审核程度,进而加强医学期刊编辑对生物医学研究伦理审核意识的建设。
