The forecast for the share of scientific publications involving international collaboration in optometry in Germany suggests a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 33.06% and decreasing to 32.04%. Comparing this to the 2023 share, which stood at 33.32%, the year-on-year variation indicates a slight declining trend. This steady decrease suggests a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting a gradual reduction in international collaboration.
Trends to watch for in the future include potential changes in research funding, shifts in global scientific cooperation policies, and advancements in digital collaboration tools that may influence these collaboration rates. Monitoring these factors could shed light on evolving patterns in interdisciplinary research and partnerships.
