The 2024 data on the global share of corresponding/leading authors in life-span and life-course studies indicates Latvia, Ukraine, and Malta at the top with a full 100% share. Eastern European countries like Estonia, Croatia, and Russia also show prominent positions, emphasizing a strong regional focus. Developed countries like the United States and Sweden maintain high shares just over 94%, exhibiting significant scientific participation. Conversely, countries like Saudi Arabia and Kazakhstan occupy the lower spectrum with shares around and below 50%, reflecting less dominance in authorship contributions.
Future trends to watch include potential increases in contribution from emerging scientific hubs, particularly in Asia and the Middle East, as visibility and impact of global collaborations grow. Additionally, digital transformation in publishing may further democratize author contributions across regions.
