The number of top-cited scientific publications in oral surgery in the UK is forecasted to remain stable at 6.89 from 2024 to 2028. This indicates no variation or growth, year-on-year or over the last five years, suggesting a stagnation in achieving high citation impact in this field. Given the stability, no compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is evident.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in funding or policy that might stimulate research productivity. Innovations in oral surgery or increased international collaboration could enhance citation impact, altering this stagnant trend. Additionally, adopting open access and digital dissemination strategies might improve visibility and citations.
