The share of corresponding/leading authorship in clinical neurology scientific publications in India is forecasted to see a subtle decline from 96.6% in 2024 to 96.23% by 2028. From 2023 to 2024, this share marginally increased, showing resilience in Indian authors' lead roles. The year-on-year variations from 2024 to 2028 remain minimal, averaging a decline of roughly 0.08 percentage points annually.
Future trends to watch for:
- International collaboration might increase, potentially altering authorship percentages as partnerships diversify.
- The rise of multidisciplinary studies may influence corresponding author trends, integrating broader fields beyond neurology.
- Monitoring government policies supporting domestic researchers will be crucial to understanding this trend further.
