In 2023, the share of the UK's scientific publications in oral surgery among the world's top 10% cited stood at an unspecified base, marking a strong academic presence. Forecast data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decrease in this share, from 6.88% to 6.55%, reflecting a negative trend. The year-on-year variations show a consistent decline, suggesting a need for strategic adjustments to improve citation impact.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in research focus, collaboration efforts, and innovations in oral surgery that could influence citation metrics. Increasing international research partnerships may offer opportunities to reverse the declining trend.
