The total number of 10% top-cited scientific publications in developmental biology in Japan was forecasted to increase from 2024 at 10.51 to 10.31 by 2028. Comparing these figures, the forecast indicates a modest decline year-on-year by roughly 0.57% from 2027 to 2028. Since this is projected data, it suggests a very gradual downward trend over the next five years, informed by a calculated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) seemingly on a similar declining path from previously standing actual data.
Future Trends to Watch For:
- Innovation and investment in developmental biology research in Japan, which could counteract the decline.
- International collaborations or initiatives influencing citation rates.
- Shifts in funding priorities within scientific research impacting publication volume and citation impact.
