Abstract: The individualistic challenges in the successful development of organ donation and transplantation systems worldwide include legal and regulatory policies, insufficient infrastructure, and lack of coordination and management among government authorities and medico-legal firms. To impartially reveal the research scenario of legal and ethical issues in organ donation, a quantitative assessment of research papers belonging to this field for the period 2011-2022 is done. The top five nations considering research volume are the USA, UK, Canada, Italy, and Australia, but a lack of collaborative work amongst these countries is seen. The leading five nations are China, the USA, the UK, Germany, and Australia. Finally, the paper provides future research directions on legal and ethical issues in organ donation, such as prioritising organ waiting lists, planning and managing for enhancing organ conservation facilities, raising public awareness about the value of organ donation, and conducting more studies on the topic.
