Global Share of Scientific Publications Involving International Collaboration in Medical and Surgical Nursing by Country

The global share of scientific publications involving international collaboration in medical and surgical nursing varies significantly. In 2023, Austria, Argentina, and the United Arab Emirates lead with complete international collaboration, whereas France, the United States, and Colombia exhibit much lower levels, below 5%. The data reflects the increasing trend of international partnerships in medical research, particularly in smaller countries or those less prominent in global medical literature, likely driven by the need to pool resources and expertise.

Looking forward, it is anticipated that:

• Emerging economies and smaller countries may continue to engage heavily in international collaborations to enhance their research outputs.
• Countries with traditionally lower collaboration rates might increase participation as global health challenges drive cooperative efforts.
• Technological advancements and digital platforms may facilitate more cross-border research interactions.
