<![CDATA[The rapid expansion of digital technologies has transformed social interaction while simultaneously generating ethical challenges, including misinformation, hate speech, social polarization, and identity conflicts. Despite growing scholarly interest in digital ethics and intergroup relations, no comprehensive bibliometric study has systematically mapped the intellectual structure, collaboration patterns, and thematic evolution of this field. This study addresses this gap through a bibliometric analysis of Scopus-indexed publications. Data were retrieved using the keywords “ethics,” “intergroup relations,” and “digital society,” covering 2016–2026 and selected through the PRISMA 2020 framework. From 336 identified records, predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria based on publication type, year, language, and open-access eligibility produced 101 eligible articles. Bibliometric analyses were conducted using VOSviewer and Bibliometrix in RStudio to examine publication trends, collaboration networks, keyword co-occurrence, and thematic evolution. Results indicate a transition from pandemic-focused digital communication studies toward social identity, trust, sustainability, leadership, corporate social responsibility, and ethical digital governance. Developed countries remain dominant in scientific influence, whereas Indonesia demonstrates increasing research productivity and international visibility. The principal contribution of this study is a comprehensive knowledge map identifying emerging research clusters, collaboration networks, and thematic shifts that clarify the intellectual development of ethics and intergroup relations in digital society globally.]]>
