The forecast data for the share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in urology in Italy shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, beginning at 87.72% and decreasing annually until it reaches 86.54% by 2028. This represents a slight decrease of approximately 0.4% year-on-year.

Looking forward, potential factors influencing future trends could include increased collaboration among international researchers, evolving publication practices, and possibly shifting dynamics in the roles of authorship due to technological advances or policy changes within Italian research institutions.
