This study provides a comprehensive overview of research ethics in science using an approach that combine bibliometric analysis and systematic review. The importance ethical conduct scientific to maintain integrity, credibility, societal relevance has been highlighted. findings revealed growing awareness issues, as evidenced by the development numerous guidelines, codes conduct, oversight institutions. However, significant challenges persist, including lack standardized approaches for detecting misconduct, limited understanding factors contributing unethical behavior, unclear definitions violations. To address these this recommends promoting transparency data sharing, enhancing education, training programs, establishing robust mechanisms identify encouraging collaborative open practices. emphasizes need restore public confidence science, protect its positive impact, effectively global challenges, while upholding principles social responsibility justice. is crucial maintaining conserving resources, safeguarding both participants public.

Abstract The analysis of citation patterns in the scholarly landscape data literacy using collected from Scopus and analysed Vosviewer reveals significant findings. Initially, 997 documents were identified, averaging 52 per year, but a criterion 10 citations document narrowed down subset to 205 documents, indicating substantial attention. Among these, only 81 interconnected found, suggesting their pivotal role shaping discourse. Notably, Prado’s (2013) work on integrating into education emerged as highly influential. Key journals conference proceedings such ACM International Conference Proceeding Series Teachers College Record identified influential sources. Co-citation highlighted notable authors like Mandinach, d’Ignazio, Koltay, underlining contributions. Seminal works by Mandinach Gummer educator preparation underscored interdisciplinary nature literacy. Implications for policy practice include advocating curricula, designing training programs, promoting collaboration, supporting open access literature. However, potential biases dataset limitations must be acknowledged interpreting
