The share of Canada's scientific publications in the top 10% of visual and performing arts citations was significant in 2023. From 2024 onwards, a steady upward trend is observed, with minor annual increases predicted through 2028, reflecting a positive trajectory for Canadian research influence in this field. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years indicates a gradual yet consistent enhancement in citation impact.

Future trends to watch include:

Increased interdisciplinary research collaborations may boost citation impact further.
Investment in digital arts and media could drive new research opportunities.
Government and private sector funding policies will continue to shape the publication landscape.
