The share of scientific publications involving international collaboration in anesthesiology and pain medicine in China is expected to decline steadily from 12.96% in 2024 to 10.56% in 2028. This represents a gradual year-on-year decrease over the forecast period. Previously, in 2023, the actual figure stood at a higher level, indicating a notable shift in collaborative dynamics.
Looking forward, it will be crucial to observe how China's evolving research landscape, potential geopolitical factors, and advancements in domestic research capacity impact future international collaborations. Staying attuned to policy changes and investment in scientific research infrastructure can provide further insights into longer-term trends.
