The data from 2023 reveals that China leads with a 98.09% share of corresponding or leading authors in scientific publications related to Animal Science and Zoology. Following closely are India (96.72%), Brazil (95.83%), and South Korea (95.62%), indicating a strong presence in the field from these countries. Developed countries like the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom show lower percentages, which may reflect a more collaborative or international approach in authorship. The wide range of values, from high in China to much lower in Luxembourg (54.34%) and Malta (51.91%), reflects differing practices in scientific authorship worldwide.
Future trends to watch include potential increases in international collaboration, which might lower individual country shares of corresponding authorship as multi-country studies become more common. Growth in research infrastructure in emerging economies could also see these countries climbing higher in the rankings, impacting the global share distribution. Monitoring shifts in scientific research funding and policies could provide further insights into changing dynamics within animal science and zoology publications.
