The share of U.S. scientific publications in the world's top 10% cited in Pathology and Forensic Medicine is forecasted to slightly decline from 16.13% in 2024 to 16% by 2028. This subtle annual decrease reflects a marginal reduction per year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 is negative, highlighting a minimal contraction in the U.S.'s international publication impact within this field.

Future trends to watch for include:

Shifts in global research funding and priorities affecting the U.S. stake in top-cited papers.
Emerging technological advancements in pathology and forensic medicine that may influence publication dynamics.
International collaboration trends which might impact the U.S. influence in the field.
