The share of scientific publications in critical care nursing involving international collaboration in Canada is projected to rise steadily from 28.07% in 2024 to 31% by 2028. This represents a consistent annual growth rate, indicating a positive trend toward increased global collaboration.
The year-on-year growth shows a stable increase of approximately 0.74 percentage points annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) projected over the five-year span is indicative of a sustained strategy to expand collaborative efforts internationally. In 2023, a year prior to these forecasts, the rate stood below 28%, illustrating a marked growth trend.
Future trends to watch include the potential impact of technological advancements that facilitate easier global cooperation and the influence of international policies on healthcare collaboration. These factors could further accelerate the trend of increasing international co-authorship in Canadian critical care nursing research.
