Responsible Research: Reflections of Two Business Scholars Doing Mental Health Research During COVID-19
两位商科学者反思在COVID-19期间转向心理健康研究的经历,对比健康科学与管理学在出版规范上的差异,探讨负责任研究的具体做法。
Abstract This essay reflects the journey of two business scholars, Stephen X. Zhang and Jiyao Chen, who ventured into mental health research during the COVID-19 pandemic. We experienced first-hand how health sciences have operated their publication systems in ways that uphold scientific standing while addressing real-world problems. In doing so, we found the publishing expectations and norms in health and medical sciences to be vastly different from those in management. This essay further discusses aspects such as the preference for evidence over theory, the relationship with basic sciences, diverse evaluation criteria, encouragement of exploration and replication, timeliness, and democratization and inclusivity of scholarship as concrete steps of responsible research.
