In 2023, the share of Italy's dermatology publications among the world's top 10% cited was considerably lower than in subsequent years, showing an anticipated yearly increase from 2024 to 2028. Specifically, the forecast indicates a steady growth from 12.39% in 2024 to 13.01% in 2028. Year-on-year, this depicts an incremental rise of 1-1.2%.
