摘要

Research regarding academic integrity, including its six fundamental values, has long been dominated by Western-centered scholarship. However, very little is known about how socioreligious contexts have framed academic integrity discourse. Home to the world’s largest Muslim population and the largest number of open-access journals, Indonesia is a valuable case for understanding how academic integrity challenges emerge in developing and transitional contexts. This study investigates how publications by Indonesian authors discursively negotiate the intersection of Islam and the six fundamental values of academic integrity. Through Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis, this qualitative study analyzed a corpus of 20 Scopus-indexed publications by Indonesian authors. The findings indicate that two values, honesty and responsibility, are strategically foregrounded as manifestations of character and trustworthiness. Two of the other values, namely, trust and fairness, are largely taken for granted as inherent to a God-conscious lifestyle. Because the fifth value, respect, is often framed as a hierarchical duty, respect can conflict with the last value, courage. Courage is systematically backgrounded or silenced because whistleblowing, i.e., reporting someone for cheating, is perceived to conflict with social harmony. Accordingly, the findings suggest a theory of harmonious integrity. In the theory, the six values are culturally prioritized rather than equally weighted. This study implies that global academic integrity policies must move beyond a one-size-fits-all approach to integrate culturally resonant motivations with systemic accountability.
