The share of corresponding or leading authors in scientific publications for nuclear energy and engineering in Japan shows a gradual declining trend from 2024 to 2028, beginning at 95.11% in 2024 and slightly decreasing each year to 94.89% in 2028. For context, in 2023, this percentage stood slightly higher than the 2024 value. The year-on-year variations are marginal, indicating a stable yet consistently decreasing trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period also points to a small decline annually.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of international collaboration, which could influence the share of local authorship, and technological advancements that may drive changes in research output dynamics. Additionally, policy changes in Japan's energy sector could shift focus and resource allocation, potentially affecting publication shares and research emphasis within the industry.
