The forecasted data for the share of Canada's scientific publications in the world's top 10% cited in Complementary and Alternative Medicine indicates a consistent, albeit modest, year-on-year increase from 2024 to 2028. From a value of 13.11% in 2024, it slightly rises to 13.23% in 2028. This upward trajectory, though gradual, reflects Canada's growing influence in this niche field. In 2023, this share stood at a lower point, suggesting an ongoing positive trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential increased government or private sector investment in research, which could accelerate the growth rate. Monitoring emerging research areas within this field might also reveal shifts in focus that could affect citation frequency and impact.
