The projected share of corresponding/leading authorship in scientific publications in periodontics in France shows a steady upward trend from 2024 to 2028, increasing from 95.84% to 96.42%. Notably, data from 2023 is absent, making it difficult to precisely determine the benchmark year. However, the year-on-year percentage increases, albeit marginal, highlight a gradual shift towards enhanced contributions from corresponding authors in this domain.

Future trends worth monitoring include:

The impact of collaborative research practices on authorship distribution.
Policy changes or institutional emphasis on research influence and authorship dynamics.
Technological advancements facilitating greater engagement from authors across diverse geographies and disciplines.
