社会责任是负责任的研究行为的一个重要组成部分，这给科学家提出了棘手的伦理问题。认识到自己作为科学家的社会责任是履行社会责任的重要第一步，但这仅仅是开始，因为科学家在决定如何负责任地行事时可能会面临困难的价值问题。与社会责任科学相关的伦理困境至少可以分为三个基本类别：1）与问题选择相关的困境，2）与出版和数据共享相关的困境，以及3）与社会参与相关的困境。在应对这些困境时，科学家必须决定如何平衡他们的社会责任与其他专业承诺，以及如何避免损害他们的客观性。在这篇文章中，我们将研究科学中社会责任的哲学和伦理基础，讨论一些与行使社会责任有关的伦理困境，并提出五项建议，以帮助科学家处理这些问题。
Social responsibility is an essential part of the responsible conduct of research that presents difficult ethical questions for scientists. Recognizing one’s social responsibilities as a scientist is an important first step toward exercising social responsibility, but it is only the beginning, since scientists may confront difficult value questions when deciding how to act responsibly. Ethical dilemmas related to socially responsible science fall into at least three basic categories: 1) dilemmas related to problem selection, 2) dilemmas related to publication and data sharing, and 3) dilemmas related to engaging society. In responding to these dilemmas, scientists must decide how to balance their social responsibilities against other professional commitments and how to avoid compromising their objectivity. In this article, we will examine the philosophical and ethical basis of social responsibility in science, discuss some of the ethical dilemmas related to exercising social responsibility, and make five recommendations to help scientists deal with these issues.
