The forecasted data suggest a gradual increase in the UK's share of top-cited publications in dentistry from 2024 to 2028, starting at 9.79% and rising to 9.89%. Assuming the value for 2023 is slightly less than 9.79%, the year-on-year growth rate is approximately stable at around 0.3% annually. This indicates a consistent and modest enhancement in the UK's contribution to high-impact dental research.
Future trends to watch include potential technological advancements in dental research, increasing international collaborations, and shifts in research funding, all of which could influence the UK's positioning in top-cited publications globally.
