The landscape of global shares of corresponding/leading authors in surgical publications, expressed in percentages, is currently dominated by Asian countries. As of 2023, China leads with 98.81%, closely followed by Russia and South Korea. Among Western countries, the United States, despite showing competitive figures, stands at 97.09%. Notably, Western European countries like Germany, France, and Spain rank significantly lower, with most below the 95% mark. Interestingly, smaller nations such as Malta and Cyprus present extremes; Malta closely follows stronger players at 95.16%, while Cyprus lags with a notably lower 74.11%.
Future trends to watch include the potential rise in contributions from emerging economies like Brazil and India, possibly increasing their global share. Additionally, the influence of digital collaboration platforms can further modify author contribution dynamics, possibly bridging gaps between smaller and larger economies over the coming years.
