Bergadaà, MichellePeixoto, Paulo2023-02-152023-02-152023978288931517810.58863/20.500.12424/4271541http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12424/4271541This chapter presents the results of an international survey of "academic ethics officers" (AEOs), mainly integrity officers, ombudsmen and directors of doctoral schools. In view of the diversity of proposals put forward by the respondents, the authors wonder about the possibilities of increasing their self-confidence in a changing world. The object of the research must be defined: trust. A semiotic analysis of the verbatims makes it possible to induce a model with five dimensions to which the GDRs feel more or less close, and therefore mobilised in a variable way: identity proximity, network proximity, process proximity, technological proximity and functional proximity. For each of these dimensions, observations are made and proposals are made as to what IRAFPA can or cannot do to reinforce them.engGlobethics PublicationsAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/academic integrityresearch ethicsResearch ethicsBook chapter
