Global Share of Corresponding/Leading Author in Scientific Publications in Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis by Country

The data reveals Russia leading with the highest share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications within health, toxicology, and mutagenesis, at 99.05% as of 2023. Following closely are Latvia and Indonesia, both exceeding 98%. Countries such as Poland and Argentina also maintain high shares, above 95%. Developed nations like the United States, Germany, and Japan show slightly lower percentages, around the mid-to-high 80s, indicating a more diverse authorship landscape. At the lower end, Luxembourg stands at 59.44%, reflecting its smaller academic footprint or collaborative nature.

As we move into 2024 and beyond, a continued global shift towards interdisciplinary and international collaborations may influence these shares further. Emerging research hubs within Asia and South America, paired with technological advancements, could drive increased contributions from these regions. Monitoring these trends will be essential for understanding shifts in academic leadership and influence on a global scale. Additionally, policies fostering international collaborations may impact these figures, offering potential opportunities and challenges for individual nations' academic communities.
