Based on the forecasted data for the share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in Pediatrics, Perinatology, and Child Health in France, a gradual decline is anticipated from 2024 to 2028. Beginning at 91.67% in 2024, it steadily decreases to 90.38% by 2028. The forecast data represent a trend of diminishing prevalence of corresponding/leading authors in this field over the next few years.
The year-on-year decrease indicates a subtle but consistent downward trend in the accountability and presence of French authors leading research efforts in this scientific domain.
Looking forward, it will be essential to monitor changes in research funding, international collaborations, and the impact of policy decisions on French authors' roles as these factors could influence the trend either positively or negatively.
