In 2023, Greece led the international landscape in scientific publications in religious studies, boasting a remarkable 99.89% in corresponding/leading author share. Thailand and Slovenia followed closely with over 99% each. Notably, European countries dominate the top ranks, emphasizing their active role in religious studies scholarship. The United States and South Korea are prominent among non-European nations with over 98% shares. However, countries like Vietnam, Egypt, and Bulgaria reflect lower shares, signaling potential areas for growth and investment in local intellectual capacities.

Additionally, developing Open Access trends, which emphasize inclusivity and accessibility, may democratize participation in religious studies globally.
