The number of scientific publications in Italy's pulmonary and respiratory medicine sector, among the world's top 10% cited, is projected to grow from 86.09 in 2024 to 113.34 in 2028. This translates to a year-on-year increase of approximately 8% to 7% between 2026 and 2028. The compounded annual growth rate is expected to be around 7.02% over the next five years, projecting a steady upward trajectory in Italy's contribution to high-impact research.
Future trends to watch for:
- Advancements in respiratory technologies driving publication volume.
- Greater collaboration with global research institutions enhancing citation rates.
- The impact of emerging respiratory health issues on research focus.
- Potential government and private sector funding increases augmenting research output.
