The share of corresponding/leading authors in chemical engineering publications in Brazil was predicted to decline slowly from 94.23% in 2024 to 93.84% in 2028. This trend shows a consistent, gradual decrease in the relative share. As of 2023, before projections, the share was slightly higher. The year-on-year decrease reveals a stable downward trend with a compound average growth rate (CAGR) indicating minimal annual change over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in collaborative research or changes in international partnerships that may impact the share of corresponding authors. Monitoring the involvement of emerging researchers and gender diversity in authorship roles could also provide valuable insights.
