As we begin 2024, the share of French scientific publications in Complementary and Alternative Medicine amongst the world’s top 10% most-cited stands at 3.46%. This marks a slight decrease from 2023's actual figures, evidencing a gradual downward trend, expected to reduce slightly year-on-year to 3.42% by 2028. The compounded annual growth rate indicates a slow decline in global scientific impact over this period.

Future trends to watch for:

Monitoring research funding levels and policy shifts in France that could rejuvenate interest and output quality.
The influence of collaboration patterns with high-impact countries in enhancing citation rates.
Emerging complementary and alternative therapies that might foster increased innovation and scholarly attention.
