The share of Canada’s scientific publications among the world's top 10% cited in infectious diseases is projected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. The share starts at 11.01% in 2024, decreasing to 10.58% by 2028. Comparing year-on-year changes, this represents a consistent reduction, illustrating a trend of diminishing influence or focus on infectious diseases within Canadian scholarly work. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reflects this downward trend.

Future Trends to Watch For:

Monitor changes in funding and policy affecting infectious disease research in Canada, as these could alter the trajectory of publication influence.
Evaluate the impact of global health events, which may shift research priorities and citation patterns.
Consider the role of collaborative efforts and international partnerships in potentially reversing this falling trend.
