The analysis of the global share of scientific publications in the top 10% of cited research in cardiology and cardiovascular medicine in 2023 shows Iceland leading with 27.27%, followed by Luxembourg and Estonia. Notably, Nordic countries dominate the top ranks. The United States holds a middle position with 13.98%, while major countries like China and Japan lag behind, recording values below 8%. Russia, Ukraine, and Colombia are on the lower end of the spectrum, underlining significant regional discrepancies in research impact.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential shifts in regional research dominance with emerging countries focusing more on cardiology research to boost their global standing.
- Increased collaboration and funding in regions with lower impact to improve their research output quality.
- The growing importance of interdisciplinary approaches may redistribute top-cited publications, irrespective of country.
