Global Number of Scientific Publications Among the World's 10% Top-Cited Publications in Health Professions Share by Country (Units (Publications))

The United States leads globally in the share of scientific publications among the top 10% most-cited in health professions, accounting for over a third of such publications. The United Kingdom and Spain follow, with notable contributions. Southern European countries, like Italy and Spain, have shown significant growth, alongside a remarkable surge from Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates. Established scientific powers like Canada and Germany display modest changes, whereas smaller European nations exhibit dynamic shifts, with impressive gains in Latvia and Cyprus.

Future trends to watch include the ongoing rise of non-traditional contributors like Indonesia and Egypt, which could reshape the landscape of high-impact health professions research. Additionally, the strengthening of scientific infrastructure in European nations suggests potential shifts in regional influence in the coming years.
