In 2023, the share of corresponding/leading authors in periodontics publications in Germany was a starting benchmark for our projections. For the forecasted period from 2024 to 2028, there's a slight yet stable decline from 89.74% to 89.7%. Year-on-year variations show minimal decreases, and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) implies a very minor downward trend over five years, highlighting stability in the share ratio for corresponding authors.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in collaborative research practices.
- Impact of new scientific communication platforms on author roles.
- Changes in publication policies possibly influencing authorship shares.
