Questionnaire on research intergrity of students in TCM under GenAI

Dear schoolmates,
Hello! We are carrying out "Research on Scientific Research Integrity Awareness and Standardization Construction of Students in the Field of Traditional Chinese Medicine under the Background of Generative AI". This questionnaire is expected to be completed in 5-10 minutes.
Solemn promise: The questionnaire is anonymous throughout the whole process, and the privacy information is strictly confidential. Please feel free to fill in truthfully. The data of this questionnaire is only used for academic research and may be used for scientific publication or secondary analysis. By submitting the questionnaire, you are deemed to voluntarily agree to participate in this study and authorize the data to be used for the above purposes. Thank you for your support and cooperation!
Fill in the instructions:
1.This questionnaire contains single-choice questions, multiple-choice questions, and Rickett scale questions (1–5 points). Please answer according to the actual situation.
2.There is no right or wrong in the options. Please fill in independently and truthfully.
3.Multiple options can be selected for the questions marked as "multiple choice".
Explanation of terms:
1.Scientific research integrity: The scientific spirit and code of conduct that scientific researchers should follow in scientific research, the core includes seeking truth from facts, opposing counterfeiting, adhying ethics, standardizing signatures, etc., which are the basis for ensuring the credibility and academic credibility of research.
2.GenAI: Artificial intelligence tools that can generate text, images, codes and other contents, such as ChatGPT, Wechat Yiyi, Kimi, Deepseek, etc.

9.
Part C: AI use behavior

C1. How often do you use AI tools in traditional Chinese medicine study or research?
10. C2. Do you use AI to do the following?
  • yes
  • no
Use AI to help retrieve and analyze traditional Chinese medicine literature
Use AI to generate texts of traditional Chinese medicine papers
Use AI to generate experimental design or modeling of traditional Chinese medicine
Use AI to tamper with experimental data
Use AI to translate and polish the thesis
11. Part D: AI situational ethical judgment
  • strongly disagree
  • disagree
  • uncertain
  • agree
  • strongly agree
D1. Use AI to retrieve literature and directly generate experimental designs and experimental schemes for papers.
D2. Use AI to change the experimental data to make the experimental results more in line with expectations
D3. Use AI to generate text, proofread and translate and use it directly, without indicating AI participation.
D4. Use AI to generate abstracts of the traditional Chinese medicine compound mechanism, and submit it directly without modification.
D5. Use AI to translate the ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine into English and publish them, without indicating the participation of AI.
D6. If the paper uses AI to fabricate and tamper with data, all co-authors should share the responsibility.
D7. Scientific research integrity issues, such as using AI to fabricate, tamper with or plagiarize, are not common around you.
D8. If you have scientific research integrity problems such as using AI for fabrication, tampering or plagiarism, it is easy to find in your school.
D9. If you have scientific research integrity problems such as using AI to fabricate, tamper with or plagiarize, the consequences of being discovered will be very serious (loss of scientific career, loss of funds, withdrawal of publications)
D10. The use of AI in scientific research projects needs to be indicated or explained in the article.
12. Part E: Obstacles and Existing Problems
  • strongly disagree
  • disagree
  • uncertain
  • agree
  • strongly agree
E1. Against the background of the popularity of generative AI, China lacks a clear guideline on the integrity of traditional Chinese medicine scientific research.
E2. Cultural differences affect my understanding of scientific research integrity.
E3. Language barriers limit my access to international ethical standards.
E4. Scientific researchers generally lack sufficient scientific research integrity training.
E5. Institutions' supervision and punishment of scientific research integrity are insufficient.
E6. The pressure of paper publication may lead to misconduct in academic behavior.
E7. The local medical system does not support the ethical construction of traditional Chinese medicine scientific research.
E8. In my environment, signature disputes are more common.
E9. The lack of clear scientific research integrity standards for the use of AI is the main problem at present.
13.
