Global Share of Scientific Publications Involving International Collaboration in Oncology by Country

The global landscape of scientific publications in oncology reveals that smaller countries like Luxembourg, Malta, and Iceland have a high share of international collaboration, with Luxembourg leading at 78.67%. In contrast, larger research nations such as the United States, China, and Japan exhibit lower rates, indicating more self-contained research environments.

Over the last five years, international collaboration has likely remained steady or slightly grown in smaller and mid-sized countries due to increasing global research networks. Meanwhile, major countries, although still collaborating, may focus on independent research capacity.

Future trends to watch include:

• An increase in collaborations leveraging emerging technologies and data sharing platforms.
• Possible shifts in collaboration patterns due to geopolitical factors or funding changes.
• Growth in collaboration rates from countries with burgeoning biotech sectors like Vietnam and the UAE.
