“…Although research training for radiography students has been in existence for some time in the more developed countries [8,10], research skills training in radiography has just started receiving critical attention in many developing countries [11]. To advance the radiography profession, there is a need to equip radiographers with research skills that can enable them to contribute to not only evidence-based radiography practice, but also to the generation of knowledge and solutions that advance the profession [20][21][22]. The fact that radiography graduates in this study felt competent in the research skills acquired can probably be a starting point towards achieving this.…”

“…Radiographers are being requested to actively engage in research related to the use of newly emerging imaging protocols and techniques. However, the number of radiographers engaged in research was reported to be low in one study conducted in the UK [21]. Limited research knowledge and skills among radiographers was reported to be one of the factors influencing their research output [22].…”

IntroductionInternational collaboration is recognised for enhancing the ability to approach complex problems from a variety of perspectives, increasing development of a wider range of research skills and techniques and improving publication and acceptance rates. The aim of this paper is to describe the current status of international collaboration in medical radiation science and compare this to other allied health occupations.MethodsThis study utilised a content analysis approach where co‐authorship of a journal article was used as a proxy for research collaboration and the papers were assigned to countries based on the corporate address given in the by‐line of the publication. A convenience sample method was employed and articles published in the professional medical radiation science journals in the countries represented within our research team – Australia, the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States of America (USA) were sampled. Physiotherapy, speech pathology, occupational therapy and nursing were chosen for comparison.ResultsRates of international collaboration in medical radiation science journals from Australia, the UK and the USA have steadily increased over the 3‐year period sampled. Medical radiation science demonstrated lower average rates of international collaboration than the other allied health occupations sampled. The average rate of international collaboration in nursing was far below that of the allied health occupations sampled. Overall, the UK had the highest average rate of international collaboration, followed by Australia and the USA, the lowest.ConclusionOverall, medical radiation science is lagging in international collaboration in comparison to other allied health fields.

“…Professional ethics is guided by national and international codes of ethics, and the main aim is to protect the patients' rights to receive safe and dignified imagining and to support radiographers to practice in an ethically sustainable manner . In previous studies, professional ethics has been linked to radiographers' increased autonomy and competency and has influenced radiographers' responsibilities in terms of the causal conditions that affect their behaviour .…”
