ON THE NEED TO CREATION AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM TO FIGHT VIOLATIONS OF THE NORMS OF SCIENTIFIC ETHICS AT THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF UKRAINE

Abstract. It is proposed to take concrete steps to create, first in the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and later in all Ukrainian science, an effective system of approval of scientific ethics by adopting specific recommendations regarding the response of the scientific community and the management of scientific institutions to violations of the principles and norms of the Code of Ethics of the Scientist of Ukraine, approved by the General Assembly of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in April 2009. Based on the analysis of the experience of foreign scientific organizations, such as the Max Planck society (Germany) was developed for the first time in Ukraine, the main provisions of the draft annex to the aforementioned Code of Ethics and possible mechanisms for their implementation were developed. In particular, it is proposed to highlight separately the violations that occur in the process of communication and cooperation in the research team, related to the assignment of intellectual property, responsibility for the reliability of the obtained results, and manifestations of corruption in scientific institutions. In order to organize the ethical education of scientific youth, study suspicions regarding specific violations of the norms of scientific ethics, and formulate proposals for appropriate sanctions, it is advisable to select an authoritative consultant in each scientific team, who, upon approval, will submit them for consideration by the head of the institute (similar to the way it is done in Germany). To coordinate the work of such a system, a Commission on Scientific Ethics and Academic Integrity under the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine should be established.

Keywords: norms of scientific ethics, system of measures for violation of ethical norms, Code of Ethics of a scientist of Ukraine.
