In 2023, the share of scientific publications involving international collaboration in psychiatric mental health in India was approximately 20.8%. The forecast from 2024 through 2028 suggests a significant declining trend, decreasing annually from 19.37% in 2024 to 13.69% in 2028. This represents a negative annual average variation of about 6.1% over the five-year period, and the anticipated share of international collaborations shows a consistent decrease year-on-year.

Future trends to watch for:

Increasing domestic collaborations could influence the declining international collaboration trend.
Impact of government policies encouraging local research might steer focus internally.
Technological advancements and digital platforms could facilitate remote international partnerships, potentially stabilizing or reversing declining trends.
