Global Share of Scientific Publications Involving International Collaboration in Nutrition and Dietetics by Country

In 2023, Luxembourg led in international collaboration for scientific publications in nutrition and dietetics, achieving full participation (100%). Following closely were Malta (92.01%) and Iceland (90.71%). Other significant contributors included Costa Rica (80.17%) and Vietnam (72.19%). In contrast, major global players like the United States, China, and India recorded lower collaboration rates, at 24.33%, 18.66%, and 24.31% respectively. Notably, Russia's share was the lowest at 4.6%. Overall, smaller countries tended to show higher collaboration rates, showcasing potentially closer inter-research relationships.

Future trends to watch:

• Increasing collaboration from emerging economies could shift current standings.
• Potential growth in contributions from larger countries with currently low collaboration rates.
• Technological advancements facilitating remote collaboration may drive increased international partnerships.
• The role of international policies and funding in boosting cross-border scientific research initiatives.
