科學報當然不妥,要求作者表明身份,是報紙的責任。請看紐時要求意見作者disclose的規則。如果您覺得紐時太liberal了:)WSJ一樣會有相應規定。 我是一個普通讀者,一秒鍾就把院士是孟山都顧問的事實Google出來了。 事實上,我把院士的名字打進Google search box,想看看他是誰,Google馬上給我院士名字加孟山都的鏈接,我不要也難:)科學報也太糟糕了吧。美國和中國的差距實在是太大了,唉。。。 也因此除非是純醫學的技術性文章,我一直不敢在網上轉國內的文章,因為我沒有資源verify:( 至於這位院士,不清楚他為何不disclose。 http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/14/opinion/op-ed-and-you.html

Op-Ed and You
By TRISH HALL
……
The most important ones have to do with originality and truthfulness. You can’t plagiarize yourself, or someone else, and we won’t run something that has appeared in another publication, either print or digital. We request that you disclose anything that might be seen as a conflict of interest, financial or otherwise: Did you invest in a company that you praise in passing? Did you once work with a public official you mention in flattering or critical terms? Could you or an organization or company you represent benefit from the stance you take in an Op-Ed? We need to know. That doesn’t mean we’ll throw out your article on that basis — in most cases it just means disclosing the relationship to the reader. We also need all of the material that supports the facts in your story. That’s the biggest surprise to some people. Yes, we do fact check. Do we do it perfectly? Of course not. Everyone makes mistakes, and when we do we correct them. But the facts in a piece must be supported and validated. You can have any opinion you would like, but you can’t say that a certain battle began on a certain day if it did not.

這是 Op-Ed editor 關於自己的disclose。
(I’m also a Deputy Editorial Page Editor, but that’s because I report to the Editorial Page Editor, Andy Rosenthal; I don’t actually have anything to do with the editorials. If you’re interested in who writes those, they’re available on the editorial board page.)
