This paper reviews recent developments in bibliometric studies of polar research, building on papers presented to the 2016 and 2018 Colloquies. It extends existing work to consider the patterns of collaboration between countries, institutes, and individuals, with an emphasis on Antarctic research. It also considers the way in which material is reused and synthesised for major international collaborations, in particular the way polar literature on climate change is brought into the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that are used to inform the current debate on climate change and government policy.
