The share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in obstetrics and gynecology in China exhibits a remarkably high and increasing trend from 99.44% in 2024 to 99.87% in 2028, a consistent rise across the forecast period. With 2023 data as a base, this suggests an aggressive growth strategy or focus on author prominence. The year-on-year increases highlight this trajectory with slight incremental upticks annually, marking a steady increase in author representation.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of these high authorship rates on collaborative research dynamics.
Potential shifts in publication practices or incentives influencing authorship roles.
Comparison with global trends to identify if this authorship model is unique to China or indicative of broader changes in scientific authorship.
