论文摘要
科学领域的利益相关者必须始终在发布研究结果的过程中保持透明度。不幸的是，尽管研究不当行为已经停止，但某些形式的操纵仍以其他形式出现。随着科学出版的新技术的发展，科学利益相关者需要研究这些新平台中不适当活动的可能性。日本国家极地研究研究所在2017年推出了新的数据杂志《极地数据杂志》（PDJ），以回顾极地地区获得的数据质量。为了保持本新数据杂志的透明度，我们研究了本期刊启动之前的同行评审中不适当的数据操纵的可能性。我们阐明了同行评审中数据的不当活动，并考虑了预防措施。我们为PDJ设计了一个特定的工作流程。这包括两个措施：（i）在审查过程中的哈希值进行比较，以及（ii）开放式同行评审报告发布。使用哈希值比较，我们在期刊开始后检测到了两个不适当数据操作的实例。这项研究将有助于改善数据期刊和数据存储库中的工作流程。
Stakeholders in the scientific field must always maintain transparency in the process of publishing research results in journals. Unfortunately, although research misconduct has stopped, certain forms of manipulation continue to appear in other forms. As new techniques of scientific publishing develop, science stakeholders need to examine the possibility of inappropriate activity in these new platforms. The National Institute of Polar Research in Japan launched a new data journal Polar Data Journal (PDJ) in 2017 to review the quality of data obtained in the polar region. To maintain transparency in this new data journal, we investigated the possibility of inappropriate data manipulation in peer reviews before the inception of this journal. We clarified inappropriate activity for the data in the peer review and considered preventive measures. We designed a specific workflow for PDJ. This included two measures: (i) the comparison of hash values in the review process and (ii) open peer review report publishing. Using the hash value comparison, we detected two instances of inappropriate data manipulation after the start of the journal. This research will help improve workflow in data journals and data repositories.
