In 2023, the total number of 10% top-cited scientific publications in biomedical engineering in the US stood at a certain benchmark. From 2024 to 2028, this number is expected to decline steadily according to the forecasted data, with a notable decrease each year. While specific year-on-year percentage variations are not provided, it’s clear that there is a consistent annual reduction in the publication count. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period reflects this downward trend.
Looking ahead, it is essential to monitor innovative research areas within biomedical engineering, increased competition from international publications, and potential impacts of policy changes on research funding and collaboration to understand their effects on future citation trends.
