In 2023, the share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in music in the UK was slightly above 94.5%. The subsequent forecast from 2024 to 2028 suggests a gradual decrease in the share, starting from 94.46% in 2024 to 93.75% in 2028. This indicates a consistent but slight downward trajectory.
Year-on-year percentage variation reflects a steady decline, with minor differences each year. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) highlights an average decrease, demonstrating a subtle shift in corresponding/leading author share dynamics.
Future trends to watch for:
- Influence of collaborative efforts and consortia in music research.
- Impacts of open-access and interdisciplinary research approaches.
- The role of technology in reshaping authorship dynamics in this field.
