In 2023, the UK's share of top-cited scientific publications in dermatology stood at 13.50%. The forecasted data from 2024 through 2028 indicates a slight decrease in this share, from 13.48% in 2024 to 13.44% in 2028.

This represents a CAGR of approximately -0.09% over the five-year period, suggesting a very stable yet slightly declining trend.

Future Trends to Watch for:

The impact of emerging research initiatives and funding levels in the UK on maintaining or increasing citation impact.
Global competition in dermatology research and collaboration across countries influencing publication influence.
Technological advancements and data-sharing practices that might affect the visibility and citation of UK-based research.
