In China, the share of corresponding/leading authors in molecular biology publications has shown a strong upward trajectory from 2024 to 2028, with slight year-on-year increases each subsequent year. From actual data in 2023, where the share was at approximately 98.63%, the forecasted data suggests a steady increase, reaching 99.21% by 2028. The year-on-year growth varies modestly but remains consistently positive, reflecting China's growing emphasis on research leadership.

Future trends to watch for:

Increasing focus on domestic researchers taking leading roles in publications.
Potential influence of policy changes aimed at boosting China's scientific global leadership.
Growth in international collaborations without affecting the proportion of domestic leading authors.
