The number of 10% top-cited scientific publications in ophthalmology in the US is forecasted to see a marginal annual increase from 2024 to 2028, with minimal year-on-year growth barely exceeding 0.1%. The actual data from 2023 should provide a baseline, yet the forecasts suggest stability rather than significant expansion, with limited compound annual growth rate (CAGR) due to the low variation percentages observed over the forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include potential advancements in ophthalmology research influenced by technological innovations, interdisciplinary collaborations, and policy changes that may impact publication visibility and citation frequency. Monitoring these could potentially alter the trajectory of top-cited publications.
