The forecast for Brazil's top 10% cited scientific publications in oral surgery indicates a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, starting at 17.13 publications in 2024 and reaching 17.3 in 2028. This shows a consistent annual growth, albeit at a modest pace, with the change percentage-wise very incremental each year. There is no historical data provided for 2023, making it impossible to draw a direct year-on-year comparison from that baseline. Over the forecast period, this results in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that is minimal, reflecting a stable but slow upward trend.
Future trends to watch include potential accelerations in growth due to emerging research methodologies, increased collaboration between Brazilian institutions and international bodies, and technological advancements in oral surgery. Monitoring government research funding and policy may also offer insights into future publication impacts.
