The share of scientific publications involving international collaboration in Germany's community and home care sector steadily increases from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 43.41% in 2024, it is forecasted to reach 44.09% by 2028. This marks a moderate annual growth, with the compound annual growth rate averaging over this period indicating a consistent upward trend. Since the presented data start from 2024, we lack a baseline for 2023, but the persistence of this growth suggests a robust focus on international collaboration.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts driven by policy changes in health research funding, the impact of digital health technologies in facilitating collaborations, and increased cross-border health crises likely necessitating more joint research efforts.
