Forecast: Share of Scientific Publications Among the World's 10% Top-Cited Publications in Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment in the UK

In 2023, the UK had a share of 9.6% in the world's top 10% most-cited publications in renewable energy, sustainability, and the environment. Forecasted data shows a slight decline year-on-year: from 9.48% in 2024 to 8.94% in 2028. Over the last year, there's been a 1.25% decrease. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period indicates an average annual decline of 1.5% in the UK's share of top publications.

Future trends to watch include the impact of Brexit on research funding and international collaboration. Additionally, keep an eye on policy shifts supporting renewable energy innovation, which could either mitigate or exacerbate these declines.
