【 摘 要 】

Concerns about the integrity of submitted and published research can create headaches for editors. Mishandling such cases canhave serious consequences for both journals and researchers. One feature that makes such cases particularly challenging is thateditors rarely have all the information they need to resolve them, and journals lack both the resources and the legal authority tocarry out formal investigations. It is therefore inevitable that editors will need to liaise with institutions when serious concernsarise about the integrity of research reported in submissions to journals. However, despite being essential, such liaison betweeneditors and universities is often difficult, especially when editors need to contact institutions in other countries where codes ofconduct, disciplinary procedures, and employment law may be unfamiliar.
