摘要

本研究追蹤實際案例，闡述學術論文之「引用錯誤」透過後續研究者之「二次引用」，而導致連鎖負面效應。本研究比較引文索引資料庫Scopus、WOS與本土TCI-HSS系統對引用錯誤之處理政策，進而主張TCI-HSS應該仿照WOS系統，訂正引文錯誤紀錄，以減低研究者因為擷取TCI-HSS引文資訊當作參考文獻，而導致引用錯誤之機率。若本文之建議得以落實，可以讓研究者警覺引文索引資訊與原文參考文獻之差異，而提醒研究者進行二次引用所可能導致之風險。本文再從著作權法角度，闡述引文索引資料庫訂正引用錯誤之合法性與正當性。至於臺灣博碩士論文系統之論文引用錯誤，則基於保全「學位論文考試結果」之論點，本研究主張博碩士論文系統維持現行政策。本研究也釐清過去學者爭論之「二次引用」與「引文不規範」議題。

Through tracing a real case, this study illustrates the negative academic effects of citation errors, especially those transmitted through secondary source citation. We compare the policies of Scopus, SSCI, and TCI-HSS in dealing with citation errors. We strongly recommend that the newly established TCI-HSS should follow the policy of SSCI and correct citation errors in papers. This policy would reduce the possibility of transmitting citation errors when scholars retrieve the reference from TCI-HSS. More importantly, this would remind scholars of the risk when citing secondary sources, and transmitting citation errors after they find mismatches between TCI-HSS references and the original paper’s citation errors. Moreover, we provide an argument for the legitimacy of this policy from the perspective of the Copyright Act. As to the system of the National Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations in Taiwan, we do not recommend the same policy of correcting citation errors. Degree theses and dissertations are part of the records kept by universities of degree examinations, so the status quo should be maintained. In addition, we also provide clarification of the notions of secondary citing and illegitimate citing proposed by some scholars.
