Anu Bhardwaj · Accepted Answer

In international research, the age of majority (the age at which an individual is legally considered an adult capable of providing informed consent) depends on the local laws and cultural context where the research takes place.

It is not based on the legal drinking age (which may differ and is unrelated to research ethics).
It is not based on the laws of the researcher’s home institution (since local jurisdiction applies).
It is not determined by the research sponsor.

Instead, local legal, cultural, and ethical standards define when someone can independently consent to participate in research. This ensures respect for participants’ rights and compliance with host country regulations.

So the best choice: "Laws, customs, and norms in the area in which the research will be conducted."
