In 2023, the share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in immunology in France stood at around 89.57%. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a stable trend with the share slightly decreasing to 89.56% by 2026 and maintaining this level through 2028. This suggests minimal year-on-year variability and a marginal decline over the coming years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period from 2024 to 2028 reflects a negligible change.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from increased international collaborations and policy changes that could affect authorship dynamics. The evolution of digital tools to facilitate research and publications may also influence authorship patterns in immunology.
