The 2023 data on top-cited scientific publications in Animal Science and Zoology highlight China's dominant position with a robust 16.93% annual increase, significantly ahead of other countries like the United States and Italy. Countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and Bulgaria observe substantial growth rates, reflecting emerging contributions in this field. Conversely, traditional academic powerhouses like the United States, Canada, and France experienced declines, suggesting shifts in global influence. Eastern European nations like Lithuania and Ukraine showed notable surges, indicating increased scholarly output.
Future trends to monitor include the sustained growth of Asian and Middle Eastern countries in academic influence, challenges for Western countries in maintaining their publication output, and the emergence of Eastern Europe as a rising force in animal science and zoology research. The diversification of research hubs will likely reshape global academic landscapes and collaboration networks.
