The landscape of global scientific publications in surfaces, coatings, and films reveals a dominant share by China, leading at nearly 98.61%, followed closely by Indonesia and India. Developed countries like the United States and European nations generally fall below 90%, indicating complex collaborative networks with multiple corresponding authors. Emerging countries such as China are maintaining substantial national control over their scientific output, a trend consistent over recent years with negligible year-on-year variation.
Future trends to monitor include:
- The potential for increased international collaboration, particularly in regions with lower current shares.
- Shifts in policy or funding that might influence these national shares significantly.
- The role of emerging technologies and sectors influencing shifts in leading author dynamics.
