China will set up a credibility evaluation system for scientists to curb the repeated frauds in the academic circle, said China's Minister of Science and Technology Xu Guanhua on Tuesday.
At a meeting of China's top advisory body, Xu said China will improve the evaluation organizations in the academic circle and establish archives to record the scientists' mistakes and violation of regulations.
The evaluation work in the academic circle should be authoritative and strict, Xu said in a report delivered at a meeting of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee.
China will also record and evaluate the credibility of the research organs who apply for national scientific funds, Xu said.
Those scientists or research organizations who lose credibility will be warned and made public, Xu said.
He stressed that it is an important task for the academic circle to combat scientific fraud and misconduct.
"Although the number of scientific frauds is still small, yet its harm on China's scientific progress cannot be underestimated," Xu said.
The ministry will reform its evaluation and awarding system, improve administration on experts and strengthen supervision on the use of scientific funds to systematically curb the scientific misconduct, Xu added. (Source: Xinhua)
