摘要
The increase in the number of authors per article is a well-documented phenomenon across various academic disciplines. While prior studies have examined this trend in specific fields and countries, they in most cases did not compare the increase in the number of authors between countries. While it has previously shown that the number of authors in neuroscience publications has risen in the G10 countries, no study has yet addressed whether it reflects a global trend in the field. To address this gap, we quantified the global trend in the number of authors in neuroscience publications from 2001 to 2022. Our findings reveal a consistent increase in authorship across nearly all the countries examined. Italy ranks highest in terms of average authorship per article, while Ukraine ranks the lowest. On the other hand, China shows the largest increase in authorship over the years, followed by Norway and Egypt. South Korea is the only country showing a slight decreasing trend rather than growth. These results contribute to a better understanding of authorship patterns in neuroscience and can stimulate further investigations on the reasons behind such an increase in terms of socio-economic factors, the need for collaborative efforts in some fields, or, on the negative side, the effect of utilitarian reasons to meet career evaluation criteria.
