The forecast for the top 10% cited scientific publications in Chemical Engineering in Canada from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline. Starting from 88.26 in 2024, there's an anticipated decrease to 84.7 by 2028. The year-on-year changes indicate a subtle drop in publications, averaging around 1% annually over this period. In 2023, the number of top-cited publications stood at approximately the same level as in 2024, marking the beginning of this downward trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of emerging technologies and interdisciplinary research on publication quality and citation levels.
Government and institutional funding changes affecting research output in Chemical Engineering.
Potential shifts in global research dynamics, influencing Canada's stance in the scientific community.
Opportunities for collaboration and innovation as key drivers to potentially reverse the declining citation trend.
