The forecast for the total number of 10% top-cited scientific publications in biotechnology in Canada shows a slight decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 20.31 publications in 2024, the number gradually decreases to 19.78 by 2028. This projection indicates a subtle year-on-year decrease, reflecting a modest contraction in the output of top-cited biotechnology research.
In comparison to 2023, when actual data placed the number of such highly cited publications at 20.31, the compounded annual growth rate suggests a continuous shrinking trend through 2028.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in biotechnology funding, collaboration among academic and industrial researchers, and governmental policy changes that might influence research focus and publication volume. Additionally, global competition in the biotechnology field could impact these citation metrics positively or negatively, depending on adaptive strategies employed by Canadian institutions.
