As of 2023, the US recorded an unspecified number of 10% top-cited scientific publications in the domain of Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health. Forecasts predict a moderate, steady growth from 867.31 publications in 2024 to 881.12 by 2028. This reflects average year-on-year growth of approximately 0.5% from 2024 onward.

The last two years show consistent upward movement, strengthening trends observed previously, likely aided by increasing focus on public health due to global challenges like pandemics and climate change.

Future trends to watch for:

Expanding interdisciplinary research as health issues intersect with technology and policy.
Increased funding opportunities for environmental health research due to rising global environmental concerns.
Development of collaborative international publications enhancing citations and recognition.
