The forecast for the total number of 10% top-cited scientific publications in Chemical Engineering in France indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. The data shows a gradual decrease from 78.41 publications in 2024 to 68.91 in 2028. This represents a reduction in the volume of high-impact publications over these years. When considering the period from 2024 onwards, the publications exhibit consistently negative year-on-year growth, portraying a challenging scenario for France's position in top-tier scientific output.
The key trend to watch for in the future will be innovations targeting sustainable development and renewable energy processes, potentially reenergizing research output and impact in this field. Collaborative efforts with international institutions and industries could bolster the citation metrics. Additionally, the integration of AI in research methodologies may spur an increase in cutting-edge publications.
