The share of top-cited scientific publications in dentistry from India is on a positive trajectory, with forecasts indicating a gradual rise from 4.56% in 2024 to 5.03% by 2028. Given the consistent increase, the compound annual growth rate over this period suggests steady strengthening. Without data from 2023, we lack a baseline to calculate percentage variations accurately, but the trend is clear.
Looking ahead, the focus should be on increasing research quality and collaboration, leveraging technological advancements, and addressing publication challenges to maintain and possibly enhance India's standing in global dentistry research.
