Declining or Waning
- Traditional Historical Narratives:
There appears to be a decline in the publication of papers focusing solely on traditional historical narratives without contemporary relevance, as the journal increasingly prioritizes analyses that connect past events to current social issues. - Purely Theoretical Frameworks:
Research that relies solely on theoretical frameworks without empirical analysis is becoming less common. The journal seems to favor studies that incorporate empirical data or case studies to support theoretical claims. - Narrowly Focused Literary Studies:
There is a noticeable reduction in narrowly focused literary studies that do not engage with broader social or cultural contexts. The journal is shifting towards works that integrate literature with social themes and historical analysis. - Homogeneous Gender Studies:
While gender studies remain a core focus, there is a decline in works that treat gender issues in isolation. The trend is moving towards intersectional approaches that consider how gender interacts with other social categories. - Local Historical Studies:
Papers that concentrate solely on local or regional historical studies without linking them to larger national or global contexts are becoming less prevalent. The journal is increasingly interested in broader implications and connections.
