Abstract: Purpose: This study aims to identify the patterns of scientific collaboration in the published literature on academic accreditation processes. Design/methodology/approach: The methodology was based on a non-experimental approach using the quantitative method. A non-probabilistic sample covering 1937-2024 in the Scopus database was delimited. Bibliometric indicators of scientific collaboration, such as collaboration networks of authorship, institutions and countries, were calculated, represented and analyzed. Scientific maps were generated for visualization. Findings: The results of this study reveal a highly centralized global collaborative network, particularly among countries and institutions in the northern hemisphere, such as the United States, Canada and several Western European nations. This can be attributed to each country's scientific capabilities, access to resources and internationalization policies. On the other hand, it also reflects an asymmetry in the global generation of scientific knowledge, where countries and institutions with less scientific development continue to hold a peripheral role. Originality/value: Analyzing the patterns of scientific collaboration on accreditation processes has comprehensively revealed the main trends, schools of thought and topics associated with the socio-intellectual structure of academic accreditation research.
