The share of corresponding or leading authors in nephrology publications in Brazil has remained consistently high from 2024 to 2028, starting at 92.41% in 2024 and decreasing slightly to 92.33% by 2028. This indicates a very slight declining trend with a minimal year-on-year change of around 0.03% to 0.02%. Over the past five years, the compound annual growth rate is negligible, highlighting stability in authorship.
Looking ahead, potential trends include the impact of collaborative global research efforts, increased co-authorship, and changes in journal policies which may alter the distribution of authorship roles. Monitoring these factors will be essential to understanding future dynamics in academic publishing in nephrology within Brazil.
