The United States leads with a 31.82% share in top-cited medical and surgical nursing publications despite a 5.5% decline from 2023. The United Kingdom and China follow, showing modest growth and significant increases of 0.23% and 24.69%, respectively. Notable surges in publication shares come from the Netherlands and Singapore with increases of 86.81% and 38.16% year-on-year.
