The forecast for the share of corresponding/leading authors in Italy's scientific publications in energy engineering and power technology shows a gradual decline from 90.98 in 2024 to 90.65 in 2028. This consistently slight downward trend over the five years represents a rather small year-on-year decrease, indicating stability with minimal change. Comparatively, these projections start from a high base level established in 2023, where the value hovered just around this range. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the period suggests a minor average annual decrease, reflecting an overall market stability but with subtle declines.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in international collaboration levels, which could impact the share of corresponding authorship. Attention should also be paid to new policies or incentives that might influence publication dynamics, as well as technological advancements driving changes in the energy sector and their potential effect on authorship and publication patterns.
