The share of scientific publications involving international collaboration in the fields of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism in China is forecasted to decline steadily from 15.63% in 2024 to 14.08% by 2028. This reflects a persistent downward trend since 2023, indicating potential challenges in maintaining international partnerships or increased self-sufficiency in research efforts.

Future trends to watch for include:

The potential impact of international policies and global relations on scientific collaboration.
China's internal capacity to substitute international collaborations with local expertise and resources.
The influence of increased funding on China's domestic research capabilities.
