The forecasted share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in critical care nursing in the UK shows a consistent but mild decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 93.25% in 2024, it gradually decreases to 92.34% by 2028. Compared to 2023, the slight drop reflects progressive diversification or collaboration in authorship roles. The year-on-year percentage change suggests a small but steady decline, demonstrating an overall downward trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impact of interdisciplinary collaborations, which could further diversify author roles.
The influence of digital transformation on authorship dynamics in critical care nursing.
Monitoring how changes in academic policies might affect changing trends in corresponding authorship.
