Aims and Scopes

CoDAS is a journal dedicated to advancing knowledge and practice in the areas of speech, language, and hearing sciences. Its research spans various aspects of communication disorders, focusing on clinical practice, assessment, and intervention methodologies.
  1. Speech and Language Pathology:
    The journal publishes research related to assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of speech and language disorders across different age groups, with a strong emphasis on evidence-based practices.
  2. Audiology and Hearing Sciences:
    CoDAS includes studies on auditory processing, hearing loss, and rehabilitation strategies for individuals with hearing impairments, focusing on innovative assessment techniques and intervention outcomes.
  3. Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy:
    Research on orofacial myofunctional disorders and their impact on feeding, speech, and overall health is a significant focus, examining therapeutic approaches and clinical protocols.
  4. Child Development and Communication:
    The journal emphasizes early detection and intervention in communication disorders, with research on developmental language disorders, autism spectrum disorders, and related interventions.
  5. Public Health and Community Health:
    CoDAS addresses broader public health issues related to speech and language therapy, including community screenings, telehealth interventions, and health education strategies.
Recent publications in CoDAS have highlighted several emerging themes and trends that reflect the evolving landscape of speech, language, and hearing sciences. These trends indicate a growing interest in innovative methodologies and interdisciplinary approaches.
  1. Telehealth and Remote Interventions:
    The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the integration of telehealth in speech-language therapy, with a significant increase in studies exploring the effectiveness of remote interventions and digital tools.
  2. Interdisciplinary Approaches:
    There is a growing trend towards interdisciplinary research that combines insights from various fields such as psychology, education, and technology to enhance speech and language interventions.
  3. Innovative Assessment Tools and Protocols:
    Emerging studies focus on developing and validating new assessment tools that utilize technology and innovative methodologies to improve diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic outcomes.
  4. Focus on Aging Populations:
    Research addressing communication disorders in aging populations, including studies on dysphagia and cognitive-linguistic deficits, is increasingly prevalent as the demographic shifts towards an older population.
  5. Multisensory Approaches to Therapy:
    There is an emerging trend in utilizing multisensory techniques in therapy, incorporating auditory, visual, and tactile stimuli to enhance communication skills and outcomes.

Declining or Waning

While CoDAS has maintained a robust focus on several core areas, some themes have seen a decline in publication frequency or relevance in recent years. This section highlights those waning topics that were once prevalent.
  1. Traditional Speech Therapy Techniques:
    There is a noticeable decrease in studies focused on conventional speech therapy techniques, as the journal shifts towards more innovative and evidence-based practices.
  2. General Dysphagia Studies:
    Research specifically addressing dysphagia without a clear connection to orofacial myofunctional therapy or related fields has become less prominent, suggesting a narrowing of focus.
  3. Basic Auditory Assessments:
    While audiology remains a key area, basic assessments without innovative approaches or technological integration have seen a decline, as the field moves towards more complex and nuanced evaluations.
  4. Single Case Studies:
    The journal is moving away from isolated case studies towards more comprehensive research that encompasses larger populations and broader implications, indicating a shift in methodological preference.
