The global share of scientific publications in nephrology among the top 10% cited varies significantly by country, with Bulgaria leading at nearly 95%, followed by Ukraine at approximately 47%. Countries like Iceland and Chile also show strong performances. Traditional research powerhouses such as the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany fall in the middle tier, demonstrating the global spread and democratization of high-impact nephrology research.
Future trends to watch include the increasing contributions from emerging economies, particularly in Asia and Eastern Europe, which may alter the traditional dominance of Western countries in nephrology research. Continued investment in research infrastructure could further shift the landscape.
