Abstract

Global publication trends in research integrity and research ethics (RIRE) have increased exponentially. Over 25,700 publications on RIRE from Web of Science across the period 1990-2018 form the basis of this study. Countries, institutions, and their collaborations on RIRE are analyzed. Results show that developed countries in North America and Western Europe contribute to most of the global publications on RIRE. However, despite China's significant growth on RIRE study in recent years, the increase is not comparable to its rapid growth in overall publications for science and technology. International collaboration on RIRE increased from ~2% of the total publications in 1990 to 23% in 2018. Developed countries dominate international collaborations on RIRE, with USA- Canada, USA-UK and UK-Australia as top collaborating pairs. The proportion of multi-authored, multi-institutional and multi-country papers has grown over the years, indicating the trend towards increased collaborations in RIRE studies.
