The share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in aerospace engineering in Japan is expected to slightly decrease from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, this figure was 94.62%. The forecast indicates a gradual decline to 94.25% by 2028, displaying a slight year-on-year decrease. From 2024 to 2028, Japan's aerospace engineering field may prioritize more collaborative authorship, although corresponding authors will still largely maintain dominance.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Increased emphasis on collaboration and interdisciplinary research.
- Potential influence of global partnerships on authorship dynamics.
- Impact of emerging technologies on publication practices.
