The forecast for the number of top 10% cited scientific publications in aerospace engineering in Japan shows a declining trend from 16.44 in 2024 to 14.45 in 2028. Comparing the values over these years indicates a gradual decrease with an approximate year-on-year decline of 3% from 2024 to 2028. This consistent downward trend reflects challenges in maintaining research impact within this sector.
Future trends to watch for include Japan's strategic efforts to bolster international collaboration and enhance funding aimed at reversing this decline. Enhancements in digitalization and sustainable aviation could also influence the quality and impact of future research outputs.
