The United States remains a leader in critical care nursing publications, despite a 13.41% decline in top-cited publications. Conversely, emerging players like South Korea and China show significant year-on-year growth at 25.82% and 33.49%, respectively. Germany's marked increase by 36.52% highlights an expanding influence in this field. Noteworthy stability in countries like New Zealand and Malaysia, alongside sharp declines in Denmark and Belgium, indicate shifting research dynamics. Brazil and Spain exhibit notable reductions, suggesting potential for re-prioritization or challenging academic environments.
Future trends to watch include the sustained rise of Asian countries in this sector, driven by increased investment in healthcare research and institutional capacity. Furthermore, potential collaborations across Europe could bolster publication volumes despite individual country declines.
