The forecasted share of scientific publications involving international collaboration in cardiology and cardiovascular medicine in the UK is set to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 45.08% in 2024, it is anticipated to reach 49.56% by 2028. This marks a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 2.39% over the five-year period. The consistent year-on-year percentage increases underscore a growing trend in international collaboration, reflecting a favorable climate for cross-border research synergies as of 2023 when the figure was slightly below the 2024 projection.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Impact of global research funding initiatives on international collaboration rates.
- Technological advancements facilitating collaboration irrespective of geographical barriers.
- Potential implications of Brexit on UK collaborations with EU countries.
