The analysis indicates that in 2023 the highest global share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in ecology is seen in Russia, China, and India, each surpassing 96%. These countries have a strong dominance in scientific authorship, setting a high standard in the field. The European countries generally lag, with countries like Luxembourg at the lower end of the spectrum. Other nations such as the UK, Germany, and France show moderate figures, typically ranging between 70% and 80%.
Future trends to watch:
- Watch for a potential increase in participation from European countries seeking to boost their influence in the ecology research sector.
- Monitor whether leading countries like Russia, China, and India can maintain or expand their dominance amid evolving global research landscapes.
- Assess the impact of international collaborations, which might redistribute the share of corresponding authorship across different countries.
