What the numbers say
In 2023, Greenland's scientific and technical journal articles rose 20% on 2022 (from 32.01 to 38.42).
Across the 26 yearly changes before that (1997 to 2022), the average change was +15.5% and a typical year strayed about 48.9% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 154.5% in 2000 and the biggest yearly fall was 52% in 1999. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2014 to 2023 the straight-line trend is upward, about 1.34 a year. A straight line explains 70% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Article counts refer to publications from a selection of conference proceedings and peer-reviewed journals from Scopus in science and engineering fields, according to the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics Taxonomy of Disciplines.
Limitations: Because the bibliometric database is constantly updated, the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) does not recommend comparing bibliometric data across different editions of the Science and Engineering Indicators publication. For each edition of Indicators, NCSES uses a fixed snapshot of the database. This means that although trends are comparable, the exact number of articles, citations, and other data will vary across editions. For more information about comparing fixed versus dynamic journal data sets, see Schneider et al. (2019).
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a gap-filled total.
