  • Declining publication activity in neuroimaging

    Moderately supported

    Annual PubMed output for Neuroimaging is trending down by roughly 9% per year. Declining areas are sometimes genuinely resolved, but more often attention has moved on while open questions remain — worth checking which of the two applies here.

    Evidence

    Least-squares trend across yearly PubMed counts: 2021: 8785, 2022: 7162, 2023: 6362, 2024: 6896, 2025: 7428, 2026: 4299.

    Possible dissertation angle

    Audit what was actually settled versus abandoned in this literature, and target a question that was dropped for practical rather than scientific reasons.
