The share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in drug discovery in India has been consistently high, starting at 97.01% in 2024 and projected to gradually decline to 96.57% by 2028. Throughout this period, the year-on-year decrease is subtle, averaging around 0.11% annually. There was no reported figure for 2023, which impedes a direct comparison.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential impact of increased international collaborations which might affect the percentage of Indian corresponding authors.
- Influence of emerging technologies and methods in scientific research on authorship trends.
