Italy's share of scientific publications in the top 10% cited works on pollution is forecasted to slightly increase from 12.09% in 2024 to 12.11% in 2028. This reflects a minor growth trend, with incremental changes observed each year. Comparing these projections to the 2023 data, this is a stabilization phase, with minimal year-on-year variation between 2024 and 2028. The anticipated Compound Annual Growth Rate over these five years remains modest.
Future trends to watch for might include potential impacts of new environmental policies, increased research funding, and international collaborations, which could further influence Italy’s positioning in high-impact pollution research publications.
