In 2023, the share of scientific publications involving international collaboration in immunology and microbiology in China stood at approximately 15.27%. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady, albeit marginal, increase in this share, reaching 15.36% by 2028. The year-on-year variation shows an average annual growth rate of 0.01% over the five-year period, reflecting China's ongoing commitment to global scientific collaboration. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the period from 2024 to 2028 suggests a subtle uptrend in international collaboration.
Future trends to watch include China's evolving political and economic relations with international partners, potential policy shifts promoting or restricting global scientific cooperation, and technological advancements that may facilitate cross-border research. These factors could significantly impact the extent and nature of international collaboration in China's scientific publications.
