Abstract

Introduction: Scientific collaboration at the national and international levels influences papers' quality and quantity improvement. Accordingly, this research was designed to analyze the model of scientific collaboration among researchers in medical ethics.

Methods: The research was scientometric and conducted using scientific analysis and drawing indicators. The study population included 14333 documents indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) from 1975 to 2020. Therefore, BibExcel, SPSS, and VOSviewer software were used to analyze and draw the data. In addition, Pearson’s correlation coefficient statistical test was utilized to answer the research hypotheses.

Results: The coefficient of collaboration (CC), degree of collaboration (DC), and collaboration index (CI) were obtained to be 0.40, 0.59, and 2.32, respectively. In the last decade, authors have indicated more inclination toward the multiple authorship model; however, most of this type of collaboration is domestic (national), and only 17.8% is international. The highest co-authorship and international collaboration rates belong to the United States (US) among the 152 countries. Furthermore, Pearson’s correlation test between the number of papers and international collaboration at the significance level of (0.000) suggests a positive direct relationship (p-value< 0.05).

Conclusion: The dominant authorship pattern has been single authorship during the studied period. The tendency of researchers concerning co-authorship occurs within an average and growing level and is not in a favorable situation in terms of international collaboration.
