The objective of this study was to identify current patterns of international collaboration based on authorship of epidemiological articles. ⋯ There is a high rate of local co-authorship in both low/middle- and high-income study countries. Most articles that focus on high-income countries include only authors from high-income countries. Most articles that focus on low- and middle-income study countries are "north-to-south" international collaborations that include co-authors from both low/middle- and high-income countries. "South-south" partnerships are rare.
