The share of Japan's scientific publications in the top 10% most-cited in Complementary and Alternative Medicine is forecasted to show a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, with values dropping from 6.22% to 5.88%. As of 2023, the exact value is not specified, but the projected downward trend indicates a consistent decrease over the next five years.
From 2024 to 2028:
- The share decreases slightly each year, indicating a trend of diminishing global impact or competition catching up in this field.
- Year-on-year decreases average around 0.56%, suggesting moderate but steady decline.
Looking ahead, factors that may influence future trends include shifts in research focus, changes in funding priorities, or increased international collaboration. Monitoring these aspects can help understand Japan's positioning in the global landscape of Complementary and Alternative Medicine research.
