This paper examines the researchers' 'local context' in the successful implementation of research integrity policies using the International Research Integrity Survey. The survey results show that academics identify more strongly with their transnational epistemic communities than with their immediate working surroundings. The theoretical understanding of academics' 'local context' is proposed based on the concept of cosmopolitanism and solidarity.
It is generally agreed that researchers' 'local context' matters to the successful implementation of research integrity policies. However, it often remains unclear what the relevant local context is. Is it the institutions and immediate working surroundings of researchers? Or, do we need to pay more attention to researchers' epistemic communities if we want to understand their 'local context'? In this paper, we examine this question by using the International Research Integrity Survey with more than 60,000 respondents. Survey responses indicate that academics identify with both their geographical local units ('polis') and their more transnational epistemic or scholarly communities ('cosmos'). Identification with scholarly communities tends to be strongest. We embed the survey results in the academic literature by proposing a theoretical understanding of academics' 'local context' based on Beck's notion of cosmopolitanism and Durkheim's concept of solidarity. We conclude with considerations on how to successfully implement research integrity policies.
