The forecast for the total number of top 10% cited scientific publications in Complementary and Alternative Medicine in India indicates a slight decline from 25.16 publications in 2024 to 24.84 by 2028. This represents a minor decrease in the number of influential publications over this period. In 2023, India stood close to the forecasted figure for 2024, suggesting consistency but a lack of significant growth in impactful research publications.
The year-on-year percentage decline is projected to be small yet consistent, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggesting stability rather than expansion in influential publication numbers.
Future trends to monitor include advancements in research methodologies, increased funding opportunities, and potential policy changes impacting complementary and alternative medicine research in India, which could influence the number of high-impact publications positively.
