The share of corresponding/leading authors in Canadian aerospace engineering publications is decreasing from 86.02% in 2024 to 84.33% in 2028. This suggests a gradual decline over these five years. In 2023, this figure was higher, indicating a downward trend in author dominance. The year-on-year variations show a slight decrease in value over the years.
Looking ahead, the trend of declining corresponding/leading author share may indicate a shift towards more collaboration or diversification within research teams. Future trends to monitor include increased international collaborations, evolving authorship roles, and the potential impact of technological advances on publication dynamics.
