Global Share of Corresponding/Leading Author in Scientific Publications in Health Policy by Country

In 2023, Russia led the global share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications in health policy, with a share of 98.95%, followed by China and South Korea. The United States, despite its significant contributions to global health policy research, ranked seventh. Notably, European countries displayed a diverse range of shares, with Luxembourg at 44.98%, while several others were above 90%. Important players like Switzerland fell below the 80% mark, indicating a potential area for research collaboration. Smaller countries such as Bulgaria and Hungary showed lower shares, highlighting the dominance of larger research hubs.

Future trends to watch include potential shifts as emerging economies strengthen their research capabilities. Collaborative research across countries might reshape these figures, especially with increasing global interactions post-pandemic. Monitoring how technological advancements and health crises influence authorship distribution will be crucial in upcoming years.
