The share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in electronic, optical, and magnetic materials in India has seen a steady increase from 97.43% in 2024 to an anticipated 97.45% by 2026. The projections for 2027 and 2028 remain constant at 97.45%, indicating a plateau. This trend suggests a stable and possibly saturated role of Indian researchers as corresponding authors, showing little variation in year-on-year growth percentages over this period.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential international collaborations that could influence changes in the share of corresponding authors.
The impact of increasing research funding and initiatives on authorship roles.
Technological advancements that might affect publication dynamics and authorship patterns.
Policy changes in India that may promote domestic authorship in these specialized fields.
