| description | Cases of academic misconduct have not only drawn significant attention in the scholarly
community but also surfaced as a discussion subject for the general public in recent years. This kind of
ethic issue awareness makes huge splash to a degree that never being seen before. Within these related
academic ethic contentions, self-plagiarism is one of the subject that has received significant amount
of concern but is still with great controversial point of view. Under the academic ethic guidelines
announced by Taiwan Ministry of Science and Technology, self-plagiarism and dual publication are
listed out as two particular violations to emphasize their importance but with room for judgment
within different academic research fields. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to explore the
behavior of cognition, norm, and remedy on the self-plagiarism issue among journal editors within
social science fields of Taiwan. Content analysis of notes for contributors in 105 journals, and in-depth
interviews to the editors of 13 journals indexed by TSSCI were conducted to reveal how they identify
and type out self-plagiarism, followed by how they regulate self-plagiarism and remedy it once related
cases surfaced. This is a unique research of exploratory research on this hot issue that has not been
performed in Taiwan. Data revealed by this study provide insight information to the self-plagiarism
behavior and could be used to strength the current related academic ethic regulations. (Article content in Chinese with English extended abstract) |
