The share of scientific publications involving international collaboration in infectious diseases in the US is projected to decline from 23.8% in 2024 to 21.03% in 2028. In 2023, this figure was at a higher level before beginning its predicted descent. This downward trend reflects an average annual decrease, as the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) indicates a steady decline over the five years. Observing the percentage reduction year-on-year, the sector may face challenges in international collaboration over time.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements that could mitigate declines, policy changes impacting research funding, and global health crises that may necessitate increased international collaboration. Collaboration platforms and evolving international research partnerships could also influence these trends positively.
