In 2023, Japan's share of scientific publications among the world's top 10% cited publications in molecular biology stands as a baseline for comparison. From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted share decreases steadily from 4.8% to 4.15%. This represents a year-on-year decline of approximately 3-4% each year, with a CAGR highlighting the overall declining trend over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch include:
- Impact of increased global competition in molecular biology research.
- Japan's policy and funding adjustments affecting scientific publications.
- Potential collaborations or shifts in research focus to more impactful topics.
