In 2023, China led the global share of corresponding/leading authorship in nuclear energy and engineering publications with a dominant 98.88%, followed closely by Russia and South Korea. The United States and other Western countries exhibited lower shares, with many falling below 90%. African, Latin American, and some European nations like Luxembourg and Iceland demonstrated smaller shares below 80%.
Looking forward, developing countries with emerging nuclear programs, such as Brazil and India, may see an increase in their global share. Meanwhile, established markets in Western countries may experience slower growth as collaborative international research broadens the contributor base. Encouraging cross-national investments and partnerships will likely impact the future trend of authorship in this sector.
