Amini rekodi ya sayansi

Historia

Uadilifu wa rekodi ya kisayansi ni msingi wa sayansi kama manufaa ya umma duniani. Hata hivyo, iko chini ya shinikizo linaloongezeka: ukuaji wa haraka wa machapisho, kuenea kwa maudhui yanayotokana na akili bandia (AI), na viwango visivyolingana vya mapitio ya rika na usimamizi wa uhariri vimeunda upungufu wa uaminifu unaoathiri watafiti, taasisi na umma pia.

At the same time, there is no simple, widely recognized mechanism for identifying journals that meet robust, independently verified standards of trustworthiness. The ISC is working with partners from the publishing community to explore how this gap might be addressed.

As a first step, the ISC is exploring whether a minimum set of journal-level requirements for trustworthiness, covering core aspects of research integrity such as peer review quality, editorial oversight and standards compliance, can be identified and agreed upon. If this proves achievable, the longer-term aim is a trust marker system through which journals meeting these requirements could signal their trustworthiness to researchers, institutions and funders through a publicly accessible certification.

Mpango huu unalenga tu masuala ya uaminifu katika rekodi ya kisayansi. Haushughulikii mifumo ya biashara, bei za jarida, au miundo ya umiliki wa uchapishaji. 

The ISC’s role is to provide independent scientific community oversight throughout the requirements development process, ensuring that any resulting framework reflects the values, needs and diversity of the global scientific community rather than the interests of any single group of actors.

Shughuli na athari 

• Agosti-Septemba 2026: ISC ilianzisha kikundi cha wataalamu kilichochaguliwa kutoka kote katika jumuiya ya kisayansi ili kupitia na kuchangia katika ukuzaji wa mahitaji ya jarida.
• Oktoba 2026: Uzinduzi wa mpango huo katika Mkutano wa Kati wa ISC na Mazungumzo ya Sayansi ya Beijing.
• Mwisho 2026: Kikundi kazi kinaanza ushiriki mkubwa wa kiufundi kuhusu mahitaji ya jarida, kikijengwa kwenye orodha ya wagombea iliyoandaliwa kwa ushirikiano na washirika wa uchapishaji na maadili na kwa kushauriana na Uanachama wa ISC.
• 2027 ya awali: Kuanzishwa kwa Bodi Huru ya Utawala ili kutoa usimamizi endelevu wa mfumo wa alama za uaminifu na kuhakikisha uwajibikaji wake wa muda mrefu kwa jamii ya kisayansi.
• Katikati ya 2027: Matokeo ya kwanza muhimu ya mpango huo yaliyotarajiwa, ikiwa ni pamoja na mahitaji ya jarida yaliyokubaliwa na mfumo wa awali wa uidhinishaji.

Jihusishe

Mfumo wa alama za uaminifu unaoaminika na unaosimamiwa na jamii unahudumia maslahi ya jamii nzima ya kisayansi. Kama sehemu ya mchakato wa ukuzaji wa mahitaji, ISC inapanga kushauriana na wanachama wake kuhusu uundaji wa mahitaji ya rasimu ya jarida na ishara za uaminifu. Maelezo zaidi kuhusu jinsi wanachama wanavyoweza kuchangia yatashirikiwa kwa wakati unaofaa. 

Watafiti, taasisi, na wafadhili wanaotaka kupata taarifa kuhusu maendeleo ya mpango huu wanahimizwa kufuatilia masasisho kupitia mawasiliano ya kawaida ya ISC.
