In 2023, the total number of scientific publications in music in India was 4.83. The projected values indicate a steady but slow growth in the number of publications over the forecasted period from 2024 to 2028, with the figure increasing from 4.87 to 5.01. The year-on-year increase is relatively modest, averaging around 0.8% per annum. This consistent trend suggests a stable interest and investment in music research within academic and scientific communities over this five-year span.
Looking forward, it is important to observe how emerging technologies, increased interdisciplinary research, and globalization of music studies might influence further growth and diversification in scientific publications in this field in India.
