In 2023, China dominated the global landscape with a remarkable share of 66.37% in top-cited scientific publications in chemical engineering. India followed, trailing significantly at 7.46% yet showcasing potential with one of the highest year-on-year growth rates at 14.8%. Notably, smaller players like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Ukraine made significant strides with growth rates of 34.56%, 36.59%, and 43.31%, respectively. Major developed nations like Japan, Canada, and France experienced slight declines.
Looking ahead, keep an eye on emerging nations like Vietnam and Indonesia that show robust publication growth. Additionally, the sustained growth in the Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia and UAE, suggests a rising influence in high-impact chemical engineering research.
