In France, the forecasted share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications within the field of orthodontics shows a declining trend from 91.71% in 2024 to 90.7% by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease in percentage, which highlights a modest but consistent decline in the representation of corresponding/leading authors over this period.
Looking back to 2023, the data remains consistent, indicating that the industry is currently not experiencing abrupt changes but a slow and gradual evolution.
Future trends to watch include the potential influence of collaboration across borders and the role of digital technology in transforming the authorship and publication landscape. As collaborative efforts grow, the role of a single leading author may continue to decrease, favoring more joint authorship models.
