The share of scientific publications in pathology and forensic medicine involving international collaboration in China is forecasted to decline from 7.44% in 2024 to 6.85% by 2028. Details for 2023 are unavailable; thus, we'll focus on trends for 2024 onwards. Notably, there's a consistent year-on-year decrease in the forecasted international collaboration rate, reflecting a possible diminishing emphasis or need for global partnerships in this sector.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in national research policies that might encourage more or less international collaboration.
Technological advancements and funding mechanisms that could influence the dynamics of research partnerships.
Global geopolitical developments which might impact collaborative research approaches.
