Global Share of Scientific Publications Involving International Collaboration in Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health by Country

In 2023, Luxembourg leads in international collaboration in scientific publications concerning public health, environmental, and occupational health, at 95.15%. Austria, Belgium, and Switzerland also demonstrate high collaboration rates, each exceeding 60%. Other European nations and smaller countries across various continents show solid engagement in international research efforts, with values ranging from 31% to 54%. In contrast, traditional scientific powerhouses like Germany, the United States, and China show less dependency on international partnerships, holding values under 22%. Notably, Russia lags significantly behind, with the lowest percentage of collaborative publications at 1.16%.

Looking ahead, global academic collaboration in the specified fields appears poised for strategic shifts. With digital technology enabling broader and more effective cooperation, we expect a possible uptick in collaboration rates, especially among nations with previously low ratios. Monitoring how geopolitical dynamics influence international research friendships will also be vital. Additionally, emerging economies may further integrate into the global research community, leading to more diverse scientific dialogs.
