In 2023, Italy's share of scientific publications among the world's top 10% cited in epidemiology stood at 11.65%. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady increase, reaching 14.3% by 2028. Year-on-year variations signal incremental growth: 4.44% from 2024 to 2025 and a compound annual growth rate of 5.16% from 2024 to 2028. This positive trend reflects Italy's strengthening influence and research impact in epidemiology.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Collaborations with international institutions that could further boost citation impact.
- Innovations and emerging technologies in epidemiological research that could increase publication visibility.
- Government and institutional support in research funding and strategic priorities to sustain growth.
