From an actual value in 2023, China's share of scientific publications in dentistry among the world's top 10% cited is projecting a gradual increase from 15.79% in 2024 to 16.04% in 2028. This reflects a consistent year-on-year growth, with the average annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years remaining positive albeit modest.
Future trends to watch for include China potentially enhancing its research capabilities and international collaborations, and its impact on global dentistry research dynamics as it continues to improve its citation impact and scholarly output in this field.
