Global Total Number of Scientific Publications in Complementary and Manual Therapy Share by Country (Units (Publications))

The United States leads the global landscape of scientific publications in complementary and manual therapy, commanding a significant share. Brazil and India follow, with Brazil showing remarkable year-on-year growth of 48.8%, indicating increased focus on these therapies. In contrast, Germany and South Korea report slight declines. Notably, Egypt and Portugal displayed significant gains, while Argentina exhibited an explosive increase of 109.26%. Countries like Croatia and Chile saw declines both in recent years and over the long-term five-year period.

Looking to the future, the focus should be on emerging research contributions from Brazil and India, given their rapid growth rates. The potential for increased output in complementary and manual therapy from smaller yet high-growth markets like Egypt, should also be closely observed, suggesting their increasing prominence in the global research landscape. Collaboration between Western and developing countries could foster an enriched and diverse array of research outcomes.
