The share of Italy's scientific publications in aerospace engineering within the world’s top 10% cited has shown a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, decreasing from 12.66% to 12.12%. Compared to the assumed data for 2023, this downward trajectory reflects a consistent annual decrease. The year-on-year variations suggest a stable downward trend, with a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) indicating gradual reduction in high-impact publications over the five years.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential impact of government and industry investments in research excellence.
Global collaborations and partnerships that could enhance citation and publication reach.
Emerging technologies and niche fields within aerospace that may alter publication dynamics.
