Responsible research and innovation (RRI) are important concepts in international scientific and technological development and governance. Based on the Web of Science core dataset of 1180 relevant literature, bibliometric and scientific knowledge graph analysis were conducted. Research has found that institutions and scholars from the United States, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom hold leading positions in this field while emerging countries such as China, India, and Brazil are also actively engaged in research in RRI research field. The core research theme of foreign scholars is RRI in digital agriculture and ecological environment, enterprises, biomedicine, research ethics and other fields, as well as theoretical exploration of RRI. Chinese scholars started their research in RRI field relatively late but have made positive progress in RRI practices in cutting-edge science and technology, RRI practices in the economic and social fields, and knowledge of RRI in localization and re-innovation. It is recommended that domestic scholars attach importance to combining RRI with basic research and emerging technology research, to enhance China's international academic influence in RRI field.
