Forecast: Share of Corresponding/Leading Author in Scientific Publications in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition in the UK

The share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications within the computer vision and pattern recognition field in the UK is projected to decrease from 81.79% in 2024 to 79.59% by 2028. This forecasted decline marks a consistent year-on-year percentage decrease of approximately 0.55%, reflecting a gradual shift in the dynamics of authorship roles in the industry. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the 5-year period also indicates an average annual decrease, suggesting a modest redistribution of authorship roles over time.

Future trends to watch for include the increasing collaboration across international borders, potentially further affecting the share of UK-based leading authors. Additionally, the evolving nature of interdisciplinary research and technological advancements could influence authorship trends, as new contributors from varied backgrounds join the field.
