The total number of scientific publications in endocrinology in Canada is forecasted to decrease from 2024 to 2028. Specifically, the number is expected to decline from 153.17 publications in 2024 to 150.82 publications by 2028, reflecting a downward trend.

The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is negative, indicating a slow but steady decline in publication output.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in research funding which could reverse the downward trend.
Emergence of new research areas in endocrinology that may lead to an increase in publications.
International collaboration opportunities that could spur publication output.
