In 2023, the share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in music in France was at a significant level. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a slight upward trend, with the share increasing marginally from 95.17% to 95.20%. This indicates a steady state without major fluctuations year-on-year, reflecting the consistent roles of authorship in the field.
Year-over-year variations are minor, suggesting stability and a strong incumbent pattern for authors. With a minimal average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years, we expect this share to maintain this equilibrium moving forward.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in authorship strategies as collaborative research practices evolve and the impact of digital tools in research dissemination that could influence authorship dynamics.
