Method - For all time at national level, the Ulakbim, the TR directory database, the theme tab with the words "entrepreneurship" and "ethics" and the same logic at international level in the Web Of Science database, the SCI, SSCI and AHCI reference index in the theme tab using the English of the same words ("entrepreneurship" AND "ethics") has studied the publications achieved as a result of the scan done by 2021. By conducting social network analysis through the VOS Viewer program for international publications, the organization, the writer’s associations are presented in maps. In the study, a total of 313 works were studied in national and international summer, from quality research methods through bibliometric reference analysis technique. Results - In the national summer, the issue of ethics and entrepreneurship has not been studied sufficiently; in international publications, 2013 and later, the number of studies has increased significantly, especially on the issue of ethics, for reasons such as technological developments. Compared to the studies in international literature, it is remarkable that the issue in national literature is not addressed to the extent of social entrepreneurship. According to international studies, the remaining relatively low number of references to national studies shows a low level of awareness. Debate - The academic community, in national or international summer, must support and contribute to the development of the topic of ethical entrepreneurship through research on micro, mezo and macro levels. These studies will benefit organizations from focusing on ethical entrepreneurship, which is an important element for their sustainability in the challenging Red Sea conditions.
