The share of corresponding/leading authors in Indian scientific publications in music is consistently high, remaining above 92% from 2024 to 2028. In contrast to the previous years, 2023 saw a slightly higher share, suggesting a steady but minor decline forecasted over the subsequent period. The year-on-year variation shows a marginal decrease, reflecting a barely perceptible downward trend. This subtle change, represented by a compound annual growth rate over five years shows minimal nominal shifts in author dynamics.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts due to increased collaboration across borders, influence of technology on authorship, and policies encouraging diversity in academic contributions in music research.
