The share of the UK's scientific publications in chemical engineering among the world's top 10% cited is forecasted to show a gradual decline: from 10.03% in 2024 to 9.43% by 2028. This indicates a decreasing trend with a year-on-year reduction of approximately 1.5% over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in the global research landscape's competitiveness, the impact of funding and collaboration, and the advancement of emerging technologies in the field. These factors could influence the UK's ability to maintain or enhance its standing in high-impact chemical engineering research.
