Global Share of Scientific Publications Involving International Collaboration in Complementary and Manual Therapy by Country

The 2023 data highlights that Russia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, and Romania achieved perfect international collaboration in scientific publications on complementary and manual therapy. Norway and Malaysia also demonstrated substantial collaboration with over 80% involvement. In contrast, major research nations like the United States and Japan ranked lower, with less than 10% participation, reflecting a stronger domestic focus or alternate collaboration networks. No significant year-on-year variation was reported, indicating stability rather than growth or decline.

Future trends to monitor include increasing global connectivity, which may elevate collaboration percentages, particularly in countries with currently low engagement. As complementary and manual therapies gain global interest, expect more countries to push for international research partnerships.
