The share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in electronic, optical, and magnetic materials in France is forecast to decline gradually, from 83.15% in 2024 to 82.39% in 2028. This indicates a decreasing trend in local authors' contributions to publications. This trend may point toward increasing collaboration with international researchers or shifts in publication practices. The year-on-year percentage variation remains small, reflecting a stable but slightly declining pattern over the years. As of 2023, the share stood slightly higher, supporting the downward trend in future forecasts.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Increased international collaboration could further impact local authorship share.
- Technological advancements in related fields might alter research dynamics and publication practices.
- Policy changes in research funding and focus areas may influence authorship in the coming years.
