The forecasted share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in community and home care in the UK shows a slight decreasing trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 97.59% in 2024 and gradually declining to 97.3% in 2028. This suggests a consistent, albeit modest, reduction over this period, reflecting a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) decline of approximately 0.06% on average per year.

Future trends to watch for:

Emergence of collaborative authorship models could further influence the share of corresponding authors in publications.
Increased emphasis on interdisciplinary studies may lead to a diversification in authorship roles.
Technological advancements and policy shifts in community and home care could impact publication dynamics and authorship patterns.
