The data on the global share of corresponding/leading authorship in scientific publications within pediatrics, perinatology, and child health shows significant variation among countries. In 2023, Russia, China, and South Korea are leading with the highest percentages above 98%.
These trends indicate that within these fields, researchers from these countries are often at the forefront of scientific literature. Notably, other nations, including the United States, which historically has had large outputs in scientific publications, remains slightly lower than these leading countries.
As we look forward to 2024 and beyond, future trends to watch include shifts in research hubs, possibly resulting from global geopolitics or economic changes, influencing which countries will dominate these fields. Emphasis on collaborative international research could also play a role in redistributing authorship shares.
