Historically, academic integrity has been viewed as a matter of student conduct. This view was relevant in an age where students’ only role was to learn in a classroom. Since the 1980s there has been an increase in the number of students who work while attending post-secondary institutions, as well as those research and publish. The rise of the PhD by publication means that graduate students are simultaneously learners, researchers, and mobilizers of knowledge. Yet, few graduate students receive training on research integrity or publication ethics. Moreover, most academic integrity policies make no provisions for research or publishing and most research integrity policies are directed towards professors or researchers and omit students. There are significant policy gaps in universities and research institutes to account for students and precariously employed researchers, leaving them vulnerable to mistreatment, as well as unintentional errors. We are unaware of any conference symposium that has directly addressed this specific area. There is an urgent need to update our understanding of academic integrity to include research integrity and ethics. This session brings together scholars of both academic integrity and research integrity from Canada, Ireland, Finland and Estonia to offer multi-country perspectives on policy and praxis.
