Global Share of Scientific Publications Involving International Collaboration in Transplantation by Country

The data indicates a varied global contribution to scientific publications involving international collaboration in transplantation. Iceland and Malta lead with a perfect score of 100%, which reflects their complete dependence on international collaboration. High collaboration rates are also observed in Latvia, Romania, and Cyprus, all above 90%. Several European countries, including Estonia, Austria, and Switzerland, show moderate to high involvement, whereas contributions from countries like the United States, Brazil, and Argentina are below 20%, indicating less international collaboration.

Asian giants such as China and India have very low collaboration rates, which might reflect strong domestic research capabilities. Other countries like Poland, Japan, and South Korea also show minimal international collaboration, below 10%. Notably, countries like Russia and Ukraine report very low involvement, with values around 4% and 2%, respectively.

Future trends to watch include a potential increase in collaboration from Asia and South America, driven by policy changes and increased funding for international research partnerships. Additionally, post-pandemic globalization and technological advancements are likely to facilitate more cross-border research initiatives.
