摘要
本文以物理学史上科学家们之间为获科学发现优先权竞争的真实事件,探讨并阐释了科学发现优先权如同一把双刃剑。它既能维护科学家们的权益,激励科学家们的研究热情,加速加快在一个特定领域的科学知识发展,但它也能加剧科学家们相互间的争执,甚至导致个别科学家采取不适当、不合理的方法侵犯他人科学发现优先权。
The historical events in physics and the competition among scientists to establish precedence for scientific discovery were examined. The rewarding precedence for scientific discovery can be resulted as a double-edged sword. Ensuring that credit is given to scientists for the discoveries they made may protect scientists＇ rights and interests, inspire them, generate enthusiasm, and accelerate the development of scientific knowledge within a particular domain. The race to publish findings, however, may lead to arguments over disputed claims of precedence or to the inappropriate actions that impinge upon the research of others.
