The forecasted data indicates a gradual increase in the total number of 10% top-cited scientific publications in waste management and disposal in Canada from 2024 to 2028, starting from 13.96 publications in 2024 and reaching 14.11 publications by 2028. Assuming a stable number in 2023 or no data available for that year, this suggests a continuous but slow growth trend in scientific recognition in this field within the country.

Key trends to watch for in the future include:

Increased collaboration between Canadian institutions and international bodies to enhance research impacts.
Potential for growth in publications due to heightened focus on environmental policies and sustainable practices.
The influence of emerging technologies in waste management accelerating research innovation.
