The forecast for the total number of 10% top-cited scientific publications in molecular biology in the US from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent year-on-year decline. The value stands at 486.24 publications in 2024, with a decrease each subsequent year, reaching 424.85 by 2028. This represents a significant downward trend from the number in 2023, which would have been higher based on the declining trend forecasted. Over the next five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a continuous reduction in top-cited works.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in research funding, changes in publication platforms, and the impact of emerging technologies in molecular biology research methodologies, which may alter citation metrics and trends.
