The share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in transplantation in India shows a gradual decline from 97.56% in 2024 to 97.52% in 2028. The consistent year-on-year drop of 0.01% highlights a slow but steady trend. This reveals a slight shift toward collaborative authorship, though the overall dominance of corresponding authors remains significant.

Key future trends to watch for include:

Increasing collaboration across international borders, potentially reducing the corresponding author's share further.
Adoption of multi-disciplinary approaches in transplantation research, influencing author dynamics.
The growing emphasis on open science and data sharing might promote co-authorship and diversified accountability.
