Ethical review,as a key link in the ethical governance of science and technology,plays an important safe-guarding role in strengthening the prevention and control of ethical risks in science and technology and promoting responsible innovation.The article takes international biomedical ethical review research as the object,and systematically combs the international biomedical ethical review research development overview,knowledge base,research hotspots,etc.through the scientometrics method,and finds that:①the number of scientific and technological ethical review thematic research articles shows an accelerated growth trend,and the themes of the core journals are more diversified,which requires more authors to continue to cultivate;②the bioethics,medical jurisprudence,and public Management provide the knowledge base from the guiding principles,process optimization,strengthening ethical analysis and other dimensions;③Ethical review has a serious geographical imbalance;the improvement of the organizational operation mechanism and the construction of ef-fectiveness have become the hot topics of research.In the future,China's science and technology ethical review can be fur-ther improved by strengthening the capacity building of the main body of the review committee,optimizing the review process,strengthening the external supervision of the review,accelerating the informationization of the review,and promoting the establishment of a regular dialogue mechanism,which will help China's science and technology ethical governance to enter into a new stage.
