Global Share of Scientific Publications Involving International Collaboration in Religious Studies by Country

The global share of scientific publications in religious studies involving international collaboration varies significantly across countries, with Vietnam leading at 32.93% and Croatia trailing at 0.44%. The data suggests a positive correlation between smaller or emerging economies and higher collaboration rates, reflecting a stronger reliance on global networks. Major economies like the United States, China, and the United Kingdom show lower collaboration percentages, possibly due to their robust domestic capabilities.

Future trends to watch include increasing globalization of academia, which may further elevate the collaboration rates in countries currently positioned lower in the ranking. Additionally, technological advancements in communication and research methods could facilitate a broader distribution of collaborative efforts. Continued monitoring of geopolitical dynamics will also be essential, as they can influence international relations and subsequently, academic collaborations.
