The share of the UK's scientific publications in neurology among the world’s top 10% most-cited is projected to slightly decrease from 2024 through 2028, starting at 14.8% in 2024 and declining to 14.72% by 2028. This represents a minimal decline each year, with a consistent pattern of decrease. As of 2023, the value was higher, implying a downward trend in its global influence in top-tier scholarly outputs.

Future trends to watch for:

The UK should enhance the quality and impact of its scientific research to maintain its competitive edge.
Shifts in global collaborative research efforts could influence these metrics.
Investments in neurology research funding and innovation might counteract this decline.
