Summary
Author name ambiguity is a significant academic issue. This study proposes an ORCID-based campaign to prevent and resolve this problem, enhancing research integrity and combating misconduct.
Area of Science:
- Scholarly Communication
- Bibliometrics
- Research Integrity
Background:
- Author name ambiguity poses a persistent challenge in academia, leading to adverse consequences.
- The problem's behavioral causes in the Chinese context are linked to personal, cultural, and institutional factors.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose an ORCID-based campaign for preventing and resolving author name ambiguity.
- To analyze the current status and challenges of ORCID adoption in China.
- To highlight ORCID's role in combating research misconduct and predatory publishing.
Main Methods:
- Literature review to identify the problem and its causes.
- Analysis of behavioral factors contributing to author name ambiguity in China.
- Proposal of an ORCID-based "Prevention plus Cure" campaign.
- Examination of ORCID adoption status, challenges, and solutions in China.
Main Results:
- Author name ambiguity has pervasive negative impacts.
- Personal, cultural, and institutional factors contribute to the problem in China.
- ORCID offers a promising solution for both prevention and retrospective correction.
- Universal ORCID adoption can help curb misconduct and identify predatory practices.
Conclusions:
- An ORCID-based "Prevention plus Cure" campaign is proposed to address author name ambiguity.
- Stakeholder responsibilities are outlined for campaign success.
- ORCID adoption in China faces challenges but offers significant benefits for research integrity.
- Empirical research is crucial for effective ORCID promotion in China.

02:21Naming Enantiomers
20.3K
The naming of enantiomers employs the Cahn–Ingold–Prelog rules that involve assigning priorities to different substituent groups at a chiral center. Each enantiomer, being a distinct molecule, is assigned a unique name by the Cahn–Ingold–Prelog (CIP) rules, also called the R–S system. The prefix R- or S- attached to the chiral centers in an enantiomer is dependent on the spatial arrangement of the four substituents on the chiral center. The R–S system...

01:14Fundamental Attribution Error
12.8K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Lesson: Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

01:20Labeling Emotion
129
Emotional labeling is a cognitive process that involves identifying and naming one's emotions, such as anger, fear, happiness, or sadness. It allows individuals to recognize and express their internal emotional states, a critical aspect of emotional regulation and communication. Labeling emotions requires more than mere recognition; it also involves drawing upon memory and contextual cues to understand the current situation and apply a corresponding emotional label. For instance, feeling...

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.
