The share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in periodontics in Japan shows a gradual decline from 93.9% in 2024 to 93.08% in 2028. Based on historical data, this reflects a slight downward trend in leading authorship. Compared to 2023, the anticipated decrease in share emphasizes changing dynamics in authorship roles in Japan. Over the five-year period, the trend reveals a consistent yet limited reduction, suggesting a long-term shift in scientific collaboration and publication practices.
Future trends to watch for:
- Increasing collaborative authorship, possibly due to interdisciplinary research.
- Potential influences of international collaboration on authorship dynamics.
- Technological advancements and digital platforms might impact how authorship is attributed in future publications.
