The share of Indian psychiatric mental health publications among the world's top 10% cited is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028, starting at 5.41% in 2024 and decreasing to 4.6% by 2028. Compared to its 2023 position, these forecasted figures indicate a negative trend, with a drop evident year on year as well as over the five-year forecast period.
Key areas to monitor include India’s investment in mental health research, international collaborations, and the growth of related scientific fields, which might positively influence citation impact and thus contribute to stabilizing or enhancing its global standing.
