The share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in ophthalmology in India is projected to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028, starting at 96.53% and reaching 96.61%. This demonstrates a minimal yet consistent annual increase of 0.02 percentage points each year. Unfortunately, there is no data for 2023 to compare the 2024 projection, making it challenging to calculate specific variations or compound annual growth rates over the years.
Future trends to watch for include the influence of international collaborations on authorship trends and technological advancements in ophthalmology, which might affect publication practices and author contributions. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for understanding shifts in authorship dynamics over the coming years.
