  abstract = {{T}he creation of global research partnerships is critical to produce shared knowledge for the implementation of the {UN} 2030 {A}genda for {S}ustainable {D}evelopment. {S}ustainability science promotes the coproduction of inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge, with the expectation that studies will be carried out through groups and truly collaborative networks. {A}s a consequence, sustainability research, in particular that published in high impact journals, should lead the way in terms of ethical partnership in scientific collaboration. {H}ere, we examined this issue through a quantitative analysis of the articles published in {N}ature {S}ustainability (300 papers by 2135 authors) and {N}ature (2994 papers by 46,817 authors) from {J}anuary 2018 to {F}ebruary 2021. {F}ocusing on these journals allowed us to test whether research published under the banner of sustainability science favoured a more equitable involvement of authors from countries belonging to different income categories, by using the journal {N}ature as a control. {W}hile the findings provide evidence of still insufficient involvement of {L}ow-and-{L}ow-{M}iddle-{I}ncome-{C}ountries ({LLMIC}s) in {N}ature {S}ustainability publications, they also point to promising improvements in the involvement of such authors. {P}roportionally, there were 4.6 times more authors from {LLMIC}s in {N}ature {S}ustainability than in {N}ature articles, and 68.8-100% of local {G}lobal {S}outh studies were conducted with host country scientists (reflecting the discouragement of parachute research practices), with local scientists participating in key research steps. {W}e therefore provide evidence of the promising, yet still insufficient, involvement of low-income countries in top sustainability science publications and discuss ongoing initiatives to improve this.},
