Global Share of Corresponding/Leading Author in Scientific Publications in Automotive Engineering by Country

The 2023 data showcases a diverse global landscape in the share of corresponding/leading authorship in scientific automotive engineering publications. Iceland leads with a 100% share, followed closely by Russia, Cyprus, and India. Noteworthy is the high engagement from Asian countries such as South Korea and China. Notable Western countries like the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom are further down the list, reflecting a broader geographic distribution of leadership in automotive engineering research.

Future trends to watch include:

• The potential rise of collaborative, multinational research efforts, particularly as automotive technology evolves rapidly with the integration of AI and sustainable practices.
• Shifts in authorship dominance as emerging countries continue to invest in research and development.
• An increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary studies, possibly altering authorship patterns toward more global networks.
