In 2023, India's share of scientific publications among the world's 10% top-cited in biomedical engineering stood at a certain level. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 show a gradual decline from 8.72% to 8.66%. Year-on-year variations indicate a steady decrease of around 0.02 to 0.01 percentage points, reflecting a subtle downward trend over a five-year period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a persistent decrease as India faces challenges in maintaining its competitive edge.
Future trends to watch for include strategic investments in research and development, collaborative projects to boost citation impact, and policy shifts addressing publication quality over quantity, aiding India to potentially reverse this downtrend.
