Forecast: Share of Scientific Publications Among the World's 10% Top-Cited Publications in Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment in Canada

In 2023, Canada stood at 8.71% in the share of its scientific publications among the world's top 10% cited in renewable energy and environment sectors. Forecast data suggest a downward trend from 2024 onward, with the share projected to decrease progressively to 7.86% by 2028. This indicates a gradual reduction in the visibility or impact of Canadian scientific contributions in these areas.

Year-on-year analysis reveals a consistent declining trend, reflecting a potential challenge in maintaining the global influence of Canada's research. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) aligns with this negative trajectory.

Future trends to watch for include Canada's strategic investments in research and development, governmental policy changes, and international collaborations that could alter this forecasted trend. Monitoring emerging research areas and adapting scientific goals may help reverse the decline in Canada's publication influence.
