The global share of corresponding/leading authorship in scientific publications on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) varies significantly by country. In 2023, countries like Lithuania, China, and South Korea topped the list with values exceeding 99%, indicating high levels of domestic leadership in scientific research. Conversely, countries like Estonia, Luxembourg, and Kazakhstan reported much lower shares, with Luxembourg at the bottom end. Notable countries like the USA and UK stood at 94.03% and 72.94% respectively, highlighting variance even amongst developed nations. This indicates a strong regional influence in the domain of CAM research.
Looking forward, future trends will likely be influenced by increased international collaboration in scientific research. As global networks expand and funding opportunities increase, especially in emerging regions, the distribution of corresponding authorship could become more balanced. Efforts to boost domestic research infrastructure in underrepresented regions may also drive changes in authorship dynamics in the CAM field.
