钻(系统)空子 [Gaming (the system)]
定义: 钻(系统)空子是指研究者采用不当研究行为(questionable research practices,简称QRPs,例如,“切香肠式”发表学术论文),以迎合学术激励系统,从而在声望、聘用或晋升方面获益,而不考虑这些行为是否有利于学术发展。如果学术体系过于依赖量化指标(例如,学术成果认定),这些指标可能会被有意操控(Naudet et al., 2018)或被“钻空子”。如果晋升、聘用和终身教职评审基于存在缺陷的评估标准,这会妨碍开放、严谨和透明的学术研究工作(Naudet et al., 2018),例如更关注“数量而非质量”,并进一步加剧已有的不平等现象。
