The share of corresponding or leading authors in scientific publications in cardiology and cardiovascular medicine in France is projected to decrease steadily from 2024 to 2028, starting at 87.04% in 2024 and declining to 85.14% in 2028. This represents a continuous reduction in the share, indicating a gradual shift, possibly due to increased international collaborations or a rising involvement of non-lead authors in these publications.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential changes in publication norms or policies that might further affect the distribution of authorship roles.
- The impact of international collaborations and partnerships, which might continue to shift authorship dynamics.
- The influence of technological advancements on research output and author contributions.
