STAP騒動から見えた研究成果の報道発表の課題 : 論点整理クローズド・ワークショップで抽出された論点

announcement of research results

科学技術コミュニケーション

In the STAP scandal， that is based on the STAP paper published in January， 2014 and later confirmed as a research misconduct， the issues of research ethic as well as of research public relation activities were identified. Japan Association of Communication for Science and Technology （JACST） and Hokkaido University Ambitious Leader’s Program （APL） regarded this scandal as a proactive opportunity and decided to hold the open symposium to discuss what and how scientists and public relation officers should be involved and how and what kinds of risks scientists and public relation officers should be prepared for such cases. In advance， we planned to hold a closed-workshop before the open discussion. In the workshop， we identified 6 issues for discussion: relationship between organizations and individuals， relationship between publicizing research results and research ethics， roles of researchers， roles of public relation officers and staff， roles of media， perception from citizen society.
