In 2023, the share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in the Medical Laboratory Technology sector in the US stood at approximately 95.75. From 2024 to 2028, this share shows a slight decreasing trend, with a minor year-on-year decline of about 0.01 percentage points annually. This suggests a very stable but gradually declining trend over the forecast period. The cumulative average growth rate over the five years indicates consistent minimal contraction in the leading authors’ share.
Future trends to watch for:
- Increasing collaboration in research might further dilute the share of corresponding authors.
- Technological advancements and interdisciplinary research could encourage more shared authorship.
- Policy changes around authorship recognition might impact these shares significantly.
