学术共同体自律在学术不端行为治理体系中是不可或缺的,也是有其必要性的,首先,学术共同体的性质契合了学术活动自由的要求;其次,学术共同体贯穿学术不端行为的全过程;再次,学术不端行为损害学术共同体的形象;最后,学术共同体的成员具有重视学术声誉的职业特殊性。其必要性和作用决定了只有充分发挥学术共同体本身的约束力量,才能在学术不端的治理上取得长足进步。
In the governance of academic misconduct, the first and also the most challenging step is the intervention of the academic community. In fact, the subject of academic misconduct is from the community, and this conduct affects not only the sub- ject himself but also the community as a whole. The indispensability and necessity of self - discipline of the academic community in the system of the governance of academic misconduct can be illustrated by the following points : Firstly, the nature of the aca- demic community accords with the requirement of freedom of academic activity; Secondly, the academic community permeates the whole process of academic misconduct; Thirdly, the academic misconduct damages the image of the community as a whole; Lastly, members of the academic community have a professional particularity that attaches great importance to academic reputa- tion. Its necessity and role determine that only by giving full play of the role of the academic community, can we progress in the governance of academic misconduct.
