In 2023, the UK held a share in the top 10% of cited scientific publications in Public Health, Environmental, and Occupational Health. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast shows a gradual increase each year. The annual growth rate over these years is relatively steady, reflecting a continued strong performance in these fields. Year-on-year, this suggests a modest but consistent rise in the UK’s contribution to highly-cited research.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from policy changes on research funding and collaboration opportunities with international partners. Advancements in technology and data science might also play a role in shaping research quality and reach. Continuous monitoring of these factors will be crucial for assessing the UK’s position in global scientific influence.
