The share of corresponding/leading authors in scientific publications within the field of applied microbiology and biotechnology in India is forecasted to remain remarkably steady over the next five years, maintaining around 97.68% through 2026 and slightly increasing to 97.69% by 2027 and 2028. As we are currently in 2024, these projections highlight minimal variation since 2023.
Year-on-year changes reveal negligible growth, emphasizing stability in authorship patterns. Observing the past and forecasted scenario, there is hardly any difference exhibited, with a constant annual growth rate (CAGR) nearly at zero over this period.
Future trends to watch will involve monitoring possible changes in global collaborative efforts, shifts in funding for scientific research, and innovative breakthroughs which may influence author contributions, especially from emerging centers of research excellence in India. Staying proactive on these fronts will be crucial for anticipating shifts in authorship dynamics.
