Global Share of Corresponding/Leading Author in Scientific Publications in Health Informatics by Country

The 2023 data highlights that countries such as Russia, Romania, Malta, India, and South Korea had the highest global share of corresponding/leading authors in health informatics publications. Russia leads with nearly 98%, followed closely by other countries in Eastern Europe and Asia. Notable powerhouses like the United States and China also maintained high shares, above 94%. In contrast, countries like Latvia, Kazakhstan, and Iceland had lower shares, indicating either a smaller market size or greater collaboration with international partners.

The forecast for 2024 suggests a continuation of these trends. Emerging markets might increase their shares as they invest more heavily in health informatics. Meanwhile, established scientific hubs might witness slow growth as collaborations with international authors continue to rise. Trends to watch include increasing digitization in healthcare and the rising influence of Asian and Eastern European countries in health informatics research outputs.
