As of 2023, the United States leads with 21.24% of global scientific publications in visual and performing arts, though it experienced a slight decline. The United Kingdom is second with 11.76%, followed by Spain at 9.81%, both showing moderate growth. Emerging countries such as China and India are rapidly increasing their shares, with China seeing a 30.15% rise and India a 27.41% increase. Poland and Italy also displayed significant growth. The decline in traditional powerhouses like the United States indicates a shift in the academic landscape, with countries such as Brazil and Indonesia also showing strong publication growth.
Looking ahead, the academic contributions from Asia, particularly China and India, are expected to continue their upward trajectory, given their recent growth rates. European participation appears to stabilize with moderate growth, particularly in Eastern Europe. It's essential to monitor how digital transformation and global collaboration could affect these trends, possibly democratizing access and further diversifying contribution sources across the globe.
