Declining or Waning
- Traditional Risk Factor Studies:
Research focusing solely on traditional cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia, seems to be waning. The journal is shifting towards more integrated approaches that consider lifestyle, psychosocial factors, and socio-economic influences on cardiovascular health. - Basic Science Research:
There has been a noticeable decrease in the publication of basic science studies that do not have immediate clinical implications. CJC Open is increasingly favoring translational research that bridges laboratory findings with clinical applications. - Conventional Treatment Protocols Without Innovation:
Studies that merely replicate existing treatment protocols without introducing new insights or innovations are less frequently published. The focus is now on evidence-based adaptations and novel therapeutic strategies. - Historical Cohort Studies:
Research that relies heavily on historical cohort studies without contemporary relevance or updates on current clinical practices appears to be declining. The journal is prioritizing studies that reflect current trends and advancements in cardiovascular medicine.
