The share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in aerospace engineering in France is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 83.07% in 2024, it decreases consecutively each year to 81.5% in 2028. This reflects a gradual annual reduction, indicating a possible shift in the dynamics of publication authorship or increased collaboration within the field.
Potential trends to watch for include the influence of global research collaborations and technological advancements in aerospace engineering, which could accelerate changes in authorship structures. Moreover, the integration of AI tools in research might alter traditional roles in scientific documentation, potentially influencing the make-up of lead authorship.
