In 2023, the total number of 10% top-cited scientific publications in epidemiology in Canada stood at 20.53. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 show a positive but marginal increase from 20.54 to 20.59. This slow upward trend suggests stability in publication output with a slight enhancement in research impact. The year-on-year variation remains fractional, indicating a mature and consistent research environment. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is minimal, reinforcing a steady growth pattern.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in research priorities due to emerging global health issues, increased collaboration in response to pandemics, and the integration of advanced technologies and data analytics to further enhance research outputs and citation impacts in epidemiology.
