The share of French scientific publications in the top 10% of the most-cited works in electronic, optical, and magnetic materials is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 8.28% in 2024, the figure decreases to 7.33% by 2028, indicating dwindling presence in high-impact research. Compared to 2023, France showed no significant rise, suggesting competitive challenges or shifts in international research dynamics. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is negative, highlighting an urgent need for strategic interventions.
Future trends to watch for:
- Emerging research collaborations and funding opportunities.
- Development of new materials and technologies.
- Regulatory or policy changes affecting research output.
