Abstract:
Medical research integrity, fundamental to scientific advancement and public trust, confronts acute challenges posed by pervasive misconduct in China. Employing stakeholder theory, this study undertakes a qualitative synthesis to scrutinize the complex interplay of interests and strategic interactions among key actors—researchers, institutions, funders, publishers, and regulatory bodies—within the governance of research integrity, thereby uncovering inherent systemic deficiencies. We subsequently propose a multi-dimensional collaborative governance framework with role differentiation. This framework articulates distinct responsibilities for each stakeholder, designed to foster inter-stakeholder synergy and enforce mutual accountability. It aims to bolster the authenticity and credibility of research outcomes, optimize resource allocation, and ensure the sustainable advancement of medical research in China. The study offers critical theoretical insights and pragmatic strategies for enhancing the efficacy of China's medical research integrity governance system.
