Although ethics-which emerged as a philosophical discipline from morality-seems to be a modern world concept but there is no doubt that its history is almost as old as the history of humanity. First of all, ethics began to appear in moral debates before emerging as an important theoretical notion. Today, as well as social life, ethical discussions have increased remarkably in professional fields, especially in academia and academic studies. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the ethical problematic, which also has an important place academically, and the studies in the field of political science, by subjecting it to bibliometric analysis. The data were analyzed using the "bibliometrix" package in the R-Studio programming language in the R program, which is an open source statistical program. Based on the analyses carried out; The first three authors with the highest h-index for ethics research in the Web of Science database are Allen N. (5), Hutchings K. (5) and Appiah K. A. (12); The first three countries producing the most articles are the USA, the United Kingdom and Australia, while the countries most open to cooperation are Norway, Switzerland, France and China. It has been determined that the top 3 journals in which the articles on this subject are published the most are "Ethics & International Affairs", "Ethics & Global Politics" and "Political Theory". The most-frequently-used keywords are ethics (238), politics (102), war (47), justice (48), politics (45), law (41), democracy (33), power (33), state (29).
