The share of scientific publications involving international collaboration in pulmonary and respiratory medicine in China is forecasted to exhibit a slight decline over the 2024-2028 period. Starting at 9.8% in 2024, the share is projected to decrease gradually to 9.57% by 2028. This represents an average annual decline (CAGR) in the international collaboration share over the period. In 2023, the collaboration rate stood slightly higher, pointing towards a trend of narrowing international engagement in this medical research field.
Future trends to watch for include potential factors influencing international collaboration, such as ongoing geopolitical dynamics, changes in global research funding patterns, or breakthroughs in pulmonary medicine that may necessitate broader global partnerships. Monitoring these can provide insights into reversing the declining trend and fostering a more collaborative research environment.
