The forecast indicates a gradual decline in the total number of scientific publications in developmental biology in Canada from 2024 to 2028. Compared to 2023, when there were 93.6 publications, the projected figures show a decrease. The year-on-year percentage change reveals a consistent downtrend, with publications decreasing by approximately 1.31% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period highlights an average decline of about 1.34% per year.

Future trends to watch for:

Shifts in research funding priorities may reverse or exacerbate this decline.
Increased collaboration between Canadian institutions and international partners could influence publication volume.
Technological advancements and methodologies in developmental biology might stimulate new research and publications.
