The forecast for the UK's share of orthodontic publications among the world's top 10% cited remains stable from 2024 to 2028, hovering around 10.89 to 10.91. This steady projection suggests minimal year-on-year variation, indicating a period of stagnation after any growth observed in previous years leading up to 2023. Unfortunately, without data from 2023, it is difficult to identify how this share compares to the last confirmed figure.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in publication impact due to emerging research trends or innovative methodologies within dentistry.
- Policy changes affecting research funding or academic collaboration, influencing publication outputs.
- The role of technological advancements in accelerating research dissemination and citation.
