The share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in immunology and microbiology in Japan is forecasted to remain exceptionally high, maintaining a steady rate of approximately 95.57% to 95.58% from 2024 onwards. This indicates little change from its position in 2023, where the share was similarly high. The minimal year-on-year variation points to a stabilizing trend, as reflected also in the negligible compound annual growth rate over the last five years.
Key trends to watch include:
- The impact of international collaborations that might influence the role of Japanese authors.
- Potential shifts due to policy changes or funding variations in the scientific landscape of Japan.
