The share of Brazilian scientific publications in drug discovery among the world's top 10% cited is forecasted to decline between 2024 and 2028. From 5.11% in 2024, a decrease is expected with values dropping each year, reaching 4.15% by 2028. This reflects a downward trend from the 2023 level, emphasizing a continuous decrease in the global impact of Brazilian research in this field.

Future Trends to Watch:

Brazil's investment in research and innovation may need enhancement to prevent further declines.
Potential collaborations with international research bodies could help bolster citation impact.
Tracking shifts in global interest areas could inform strategic focus areas for Brazilian researchers.
