目的提供第一个国家的数据的性质,程度和后果之间的生命科学trainitions.Method的扣留在2003年,作者调查了1,077个第二年的博士生和博士后研究员在生命科学在50所美国大学,与对照组的学员在计算机科学和化学工程。研究变量检查学员的暴露和后果的数据withholding.Results二百四十六名学员(23.0%)报告说,他们要求并被拒绝访问与已发表的研究和221(20.6%)未发表的研究相关的信息,数据,材料,或编程。85名受训人员(7.9%)报告说,他们拒绝了另一位学术科学家关于他们自己发表的研究的请求。533名受训人员(50.8%)报告说,扣留对他们的研究进展产生了负面影响,(48.5%)在他们的实验室/研究小组的发现率,472(45.0%)与学术科学家的关系质量,346 299人(28.5%)对实验室/研究小组的交流水平表示满意。Traineesdenied访问研究显着更有可能报告说,数据隐瞒了教育experience.Conclusions的几个方面产生了负面影响的数据隐瞒了对学员的负面影响。与化学工程或计算机科学相比,生命科学必须在其受训人员中解决这个问题。如果不这样做,可能会导致研究延迟,培训效率低下,并在未来的生命科学家中形成保留文化。
Purpose To provide the first national data on the nature, extent, and consequences of withholding among life science trainees.Method In 2003, the authors surveyed 1,077 second-year doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows in life sciences at 50 U.S. universities, with a comparison group of trainees in computer science and chemical engineering. The study variables examined trainees' exposure to and the consequences of data withholding.Results Two hundred forty-six trainees (23.0%) reported that they had asked for and been denied access to information, data, materials, or programming associated with published research and 221 (20.6%) to unpublished research. Eighty-five trainees (7.9%) reported that they had denied another academic scientist's request(s) related to their own published research. Five hundred thirty-three trainees (50.8%) reported that withholding had had a negative effect on the progress of their research, 508 (48.5%) on the rate of discovery in their lab/research group, 472 (45.0%) on the quality of their relationships with academic scientists, 346 (33.0%) on the quality of their education, and 299 (28.5%) on the level of communication in their lab/research group. Traineesdenied access to research were significantly more likely to report that data withholding had had a negative effect on several aspects of the educational experience.Conclusions Data withholding had demonstrated negative effects on trainees. The life sciences, more so than chemical engineering or computer science, will have to address this issue among its trainees. Failure to do so could result in delayed research, inefficient training, and a culture of withholding among future life scientists.
