The share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in endocrinology in Germany is projected to slightly decline from 87.41% in 2024 to 86.59% in 2028. This decreasing trend, with a year-on-year variation of approximately -0.23%, indicates a subtle but consistent shift over the forecasted period. The compound annual growth rate from 2024 to 2028 is negative, further confirming a gradual decline in the prevalence of German corresponding/leading authorship in this field.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of increasing international collaboration and the influence of open science initiatives which may further diversify authorship. Additionally, monitor any changes in research funding or policy adjustments that could influence publication dynamics in endocrinology.
