Declining or Waning
- Traditional Virology Studies:
There has been a noticeable decrease in publications solely focused on traditional virology, particularly studies that do not integrate modern genomic techniques or epidemiological insights into viral infections. - Non-Pathogenic Microbial Studies:
Research on non-pathogenic or environmental microorganisms has decreased, with a shift towards studies that emphasize clinical relevance and pathogenicity. - Basic Microbiology without Clinical Application:
Papers that focus on basic microbiological research without direct clinical implications are becoming less frequent, as the journal increasingly emphasizes translational research that can impact clinical practice.
