In Canada, the share of corresponding or leading authors in scientific publications on waste management and disposal is expected to show a slight decline from 88.33% in 2024 to 88.12% in 2028. The forecast suggests a minimal decrease, with an annual change of just 0.01% over the five-year period. In 2023, this share was slightly higher but on a gradual downward trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in collaborative efforts, enhanced international participation in research, and evolving roles of authorship as interdisciplinary studies become more prevalent. Monitoring these dynamics could impact authorship roles significantly.
