BMC撤回中国41篇伪评审论文 38家机构被“打脸”！

上海第二军医大学的孙学军近日在科学网博客中翻译了《华尔街日报》发表的一篇“BMC一次撤回43篇伪评审论文”的博文引起了许多学术同行们的阅读和点评，经过网友的挖掘发现，撤稿的文章中有41篇，全部是中国作者，主要的问题是发现有第三方有组织地提供虚假的peer-review服务，甚至直接伪造全文。

BMC集团（Bio Med Central Group）是世界上最大的高质量开放期刊获取杂志，其中包括《生物学期刊》（Journal of Biology）, 《BMC医药学》（BMC Medicine）和《基因生物学》（Genome Biology）等知名刊物。目前拥有277个同行评议杂志，这些杂志都属于开放获取杂志，就是作者承担出版费用，读者免费。被撤回的论文中，有41篇来自中国学者，包括中国医科大学、四川大学、山东大学和交通大学医学院等。

撤回的论文的8家科研机构

BMC学术诚信副主任Jigisha Patel表示，这并不是中国特有的问题，来自中国的论文总数量本来就比较多，这是一个普遍存在的问题。

BMC资深主编Elizabeth Moylan在昨天的一篇博客文章上说，调查从去年开始就发现：这些明显存在操作嫌疑的投稿似乎指向一些语言编辑服务公司。尤其是某些公司打着帮助非英语母语作者撰写论文的旗号，私下协助作者用欺骗手段提高投稿效率。存在问题的虚假审稿人一般是非机构邮件，另外是接受多个不同领域的稿件审阅任务。在最后要求审稿人提供具体姓名时（BMC要求审稿人提供详细信息），这些审稿人无法提供姓名，就随便弄个科学家的名字写上。

此外根据Retraction Watch博客主编Ivan Oransky 和 Adam Marcus的报道，过去几年BMC已经有170篇论文因伪造评审而撤回。

以下是41篇被撤稿的中国作者的文章。

BMC撤稿事件引发科研界热议

此次BMC公示该事件后，BMC官网公布了9000多杂志主编参与的出版伦理委员会多学科组织签署一份声明，提示这类问题十分严重，该委员会说，这种冒充审稿人的行为已经非常普遍，对多个出版公司许多杂志的审稿过程都产生了影响，并将对已经发表的论文的审稿过程进行重新审查，以确定更多被撤回文章。

孙学军教授认为，出现这种现象的原因不仅是出版机构的问题，也是当前学术界出版压力过大的因素，这需要大家共同来克服。

南开大学生命科学领域的生物信息学副教授高山认为，现在的学术界，腐败分子是最后的疯狂，捞一票算一票；其他没权没势的，就等着洗牌。所以基本上没人干事了现在科研反腐不是重点，所以主要靠国外了，早晚出大事，然后引起中央重视，才能在科研领域搞一次运动。科研领域腐败分子太猖狂了，和管理人员勾结骗取国家经费，这个早晚还要出大事。

他认为，专家领域的腐败远远高于行政司法领域，原因是随着反腐败的深入开展，很多新的规则建立起来，例如“不管多高行政级别，都有可能被查处；退休或者出国，也有被遣返风险；最高法院终审，也会被推翻。”使得那些明面上着的腐败有了有效的遏制。但是，专业技术领域的腐败，隐藏更深，危害更严重却鲜有追究。

兰州大学的王振亭研究员认为，BioMed Central出版公司的盈利模式是开放获取，已出版277种期刊，主要在蓬勃发展的生命科学领域。作者出资，出版社赚钱，本是你情我愿的事情。BioMed Central出版公司此番做法不够厚道，双方均把一些业务委托给作为中间商的语言润色公司。只要研究者有充裕的资金和基本的素材，按流水线作业发表SCI“论文”肯定是方便快捷的，对各方面都有好处。

因此，他断定：此次BioMed Central突然批量撤销论文，最有可能的原因是和语言润色公司分赃不均。中国的科研经费在近十几年来一直被官员和学霸所垄断，造就了大批一掷千金的土豪大款，“论文”是课题交差和进一步骗取经费的重要素材。

以外文发表的文章咱看不懂，至少档次要高些吧；国内刊物，有些直接是垃圾，如某主任医师写的论文，把阿米卡星和丁胺卡拉霉素并列比较效果。临床实际使用中，成人使用青霉素80万单位加500nl液体静滴，药房电话联系该主任核实，人家还就那样用，够任性吧？对专家限制抗菌药使用有很大意见，工作几十年了，连个抗生素的使用还限制这限制那的，你们说好笑不？
