On the 11th, the reporter learned from the Ministry of Science and Technology that it has recently revised and released the "Regulations on Investigation and Handling of Violations in Scientific and Technological Activities", clarifying 68 types of violations and covering various specific violations that may occur in scientific and technological activities, setting a "red line" for scientific and technological activities. These 68 violations include arranging and using financial funds in violation of regulations; Violating avoidance requirements and concealing interests; Violation of subcontracting and scientific research tasks; Falsification in the application, review, implementation, acceptance, supervision, inspection, and evaluation of scientific and technological activities; Organize, assist, and accept requests, etc. In response to various violations, investigation and handling regulations will issue warnings, interviews, orders for correction, notifications within a certain scope, and even prohibit undertaking or participating in technology activities supported by financial funds within a certain period of time, depending on the nature, circumstances, impact, etc., and record them in the database of serious dishonesty in scientific research integrity. For violations suspected of violating party and government discipline, the problem clues shall be transferred to the relevant disciplinary inspection and supervision organs for disciplinary action in accordance with regulations; Those who commit illegal crimes shall be transferred to relevant departments for accountability in accordance with the law. According to this regulation, those who can actively admit their mistakes and cooperate with investigations and rectification, actively recover losses and waste, or effectively prevent harmful results from occurring can be given lenient treatment. Forgery, tampering, concealment, destruction of evidence, and organized violations will be dealt with severely. In July 2020, the Ministry of Science and Technology issued the "Interim Provisions on the Handling of Violations in Scientific and Technological Activities". The temporary regulations have been implemented for more than 5 years and have played an important role in severely punishing violations, regulating and guiding scientific and technological activities, and creating a good research atmosphere. It is reported that the regulations released this time have adjusted and improved the corresponding provisions on the investigation and handling subjects of violations and their division of responsibilities. They have clearly defined the violations of different scientific and technological activity subjects, and stipulated corresponding handling measures, specific handling scales and standards, in order to ensure effective use. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Science and Technology stated that the Ministry of Science and Technology will effectively shoulder the responsibilities of the administrative department in charge of science and technology, play a coordinating and overall role in science and technology supervision work, strengthen policy interpretation, supervise and guide, and work together with the competent department, implementing units, and the vast number of scientific and technological workers to create a clean and positive scientific research environment.
