The 'Code of Conduct for Academia Sinica Academicians' was discussed and approved by two sessions of academicians. The code emphasizes no falsification, tampering, or plagiarism in research, requires disclosure of conflicts of interest, and promotes equal treatment and respect for all. The code aims to address academic ethics and prevent any behavior that may lead to discrimination or harassment. With no punitive mechanism specified, respect for decisions of other academic institutions on violations is also emphasized. The code also clarifies that Academia Sinica academicians must clearly state their personal opinions, distinguishing them from institutional stances, following models like the US National Academy of Sciences' guidelines to encourage individual input while avoiding misconceptions.
