In 2023, the share of corresponding or leading authorship in scientific publications in obstetrics and gynecology in Canada stood slightly above current forecasts. From 2024 to 2028, the projected trend is a minor decline, with a drop from 92.25% to 91.54%. The year-on-year variation shows a consistent reduction, reflecting a cautious downward trend. Over the five-year period, the CAGR indicates a gradual annual decrease in this share of authorship. These slight variations suggest subtle shifts in authorship dynamics within this field.
Future trends to watch include the impact of interdisciplinary collaborations, increasing the role of mid-level contributors, and the influence of digital platforms on publication practices. Monitoring shifts in research funding and policy changes might also impact authorship patterns within the obstetrics and gynecology sectors.
