From 2023 to 2028, the share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in music in Italy is expected to increase slightly from 94.98% in 2023 to 95% in 2028. The year-on-year increase is minimal, indicating stability in the share of authorship.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in collaboration dynamics and the role of interdisciplinary research. As new methodologies and technologies emerge, Italian music research may see increased international cooperation, potentially affecting authorship patterns. Monitoring these factors will be essential to understanding future changes in authorship share.
