The share of Japan's scientific publications in periodontics that ranks among the world's top 10% cited is forecasted to grow modestly from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 8.57% in 2024, the share is projected to reach 8.7% by 2028. This steady upward trend highlights Japan’s strengthening influence in the field. In 2023, this figure stood at approximately 8.5%. Year-on-year growth is marginal, yet positive, indicating increasing scholarly impact. However, the five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a subtle upward momentum driven by consistent academic output.
Future Trends to Watch For:
In the future, watch for Japan's investments in research & development and collaborations with global academic institutions, as these may drive further improvements in citation impact. Emerging technologies and interdisciplinary studies in periodontics could also enhance research visibility and citation frequency.
