This forecast for the total number of 10% top-cited scientific publications in neurology reflects a modest upward trend from 2024 to 2028. The year-on-year percentage increase is approximately 0.35% from 2024 to 2025 and 0.31% from 2025 to 2026. Over the last two years, the trend shows a consistent but slight growth. If looking at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the five-year period beginning in 2024, the increase remains below 0.4% per annum. As of 2023, the level of publications stood slightly below 253.28, showing a progressive increment.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts due to increased research funding, technological advancements, and cross-disciplinary collaborations, which could accelerate the growth and impact of neurology research outputs. Additionally, any significant shifts in policy, focus on neurological disorders, and investments in healthcare innovation could also influence the citation patterns and impact over the coming years.
