The forecast for the share of corresponding/leading authors in Brazilian scientific publications on waste management and disposal shows a gradual decline over the coming years. From a value of 96.39 in 2024, this measure is expected to slightly decrease to 96.25 by 2028. It is important to note that there is a minimal year-on-year variation of less than 0.1% across these years. This trend reflects a moderate yet consistent decline over the forecast period.
The trends observed suggest that while Brazilian authors maintain a strong presence in these publications, their dominance may slightly wane. Future trends to watch include the impact of international collaborations and the growing role of interdisciplinary research in this field. These factors could influence authorship dynamics, potentially leading to an increased contribution from diverse international researchers.
