The share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications for immunology and microbiology in France demonstrates a consistent trend between 2024 and 2028, maintaining a value just above 89%. This stability suggests minimal fluctuation in the authorship dynamics over the forecasted period. Comparing to the present circumstances in 2023, it appears that this share has remained stable already for some years, indicating little change in this characteristic of French scientific publishing in these subjects.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in research collaboration dynamics globally, which might influence local trends.
- Increased international collaboration, possibly affecting the proportion of local leading authors.
- Growth in interdisciplinary studies, which could reshape authorship structures.
