NEWS RELEASE
Rice study: Chinese scientists prioritize government service more than global peers
In a new study of physicists from the U.S., U.K. and China, Rice and Santa Clara University researchers found that Chinese scientists feel a greater obligation to serve their government with research efforts than international counterparts. The research included interviews with 211 physicists and sheds light on how scientists in these three countries approach ethical issues like mentorship, research integrity and public engagement. The research was authored by Elaine Howard Ecklund, the Herbert S. Autrey Chair and Professor of Sociology and director of the Boniuk Institute, and Di Di, an assistant professor of sociology at Santa Clara.
