The share of corresponding/leading authors in molecular biology publications in Brazil demonstrates a subtle yet consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 94.38% in 2024, it decreases each year, reaching 94.07% in 2028. This downward trend suggests a slight reduction in the dominance of corresponding/leading authors over this period, a continuation of patterns observed from 2023 onward where data indicated a similar trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

A decrease in the role of corresponding/leading authors, suggesting increased collaboration among diverse researchers.
Potential impacts of international collaboration and open science initiatives further influencing authorship dynamics.
Technological advancements and open-access journals, which might democratize scientific publishing.
