“…In contrast to Faure et al.’s (2021) and Monette et al.’s (2021) reviews, which focused on global health, the current study did not limit the search to any particular discipline. However, despite this, two fields strongly dominated the search results: global health and international development.…”

“…A number of guidelines revolved around equity, or fairness, as a central construct, a finding also reflected in Monette et al.’s (2021) , which described equity as ‘a shared vision, fundamental goal, or encompassing value’ (p. 9). Some guidelines referred to equity interchangeably with equality.…”

“…This review seeks to complement the findings of two scoping reviews specific to global health, which were published in early 2021 ( Faure et al. , 2021 ; Monette et al. , 2021 ) when our review was completed, and explores whether extending the search beyond global health to other fields of research yields fresh perspectives on effective partnership working.…”

At their best, research partnerships provide a mechanism to optimise each partner’s strengths, make scientific discoveries and achieve development goals. Each partner stands to gain from the relationship and perceives it to be fair. However, partnerships between institutions in the global North and the global South have been beleaguered by structural inequalities and power imbalances and Northern stakeholders have been criticised for perpetuating paternalistic or neo-colonial behaviours. As part of efforts to redress imbalances and achieve equity and mutual benefit, various principles, guidelines, frameworks and models for partnership have been developed. This scoping review maps the literature and summarises key features of the guidelines for North-South research partnerships. The review was conducted between October 2020 and January 2021. Three academic journal databases and Google were searched and additional resources were identified through a hand search of reference lists and expert recommendation. Twenty-two guidelines were identified published between 1994 and 2021 and originating predominantly in the fields of international development and global health. The themes addressed within the guidelines were aggregated using NVivo qualitative analysis software to code the content of each guideline. Topics featuring most prominently in the guidelines were: partner roles, responsibilities and ways of working; capacity strengthening; motivation and goals; resource contributions; agenda setting and study design; governance structures and institutional agreements; dissemination; respect for affected populations; data handling and ownership; funding; and long term commitments. The current study reinforces many of the themes from two recent scoping reviews specific to the field of global health, but gaps remain which need to be addressed: Southern stakeholders continue to be under-represented in guideline development and there is limited evidence of how guidelines are used in practice. Further exploration is needed of Southern stakeholder priorities and whether and how guidelines are operationalised.

This paper maps emerging trends and South-South cooperation in regional knowledge networks through a bibliometric analysis of avian influenza research in Southeast Asia, between 2004 and 2019. The findings indicate that a substantial research output involving researchers and organisations in the region was generated. However, wide disparities between countries existed, both in terms of output and participation in the regional network, which was largely driven by non-regional actors. A more proactive involvement of institutions for regional cooperation such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) would increase local ownership, sustainability and redress imbalances in the regional research system.
