Declining or Waning
- Traditional Allergen Sources:
Research on traditional allergens, such as nickel and certain preservatives, is becoming less frequent as newer allergens gain attention and as awareness of these older allergens becomes more established. - General Reviews of Allergy Mechanisms:
Papers providing broad overviews of allergic mechanisms without specific contextual applications are less common, as the journal shifts focus towards more detailed, clinical, and epidemiological studies. - Cosmetic Ingredients:
The focus on cosmetic allergens that were once prevalent is waning, possibly due to stricter regulations and a shift towards identifying less common allergens in newer cosmetic formulations. - Localized Studies Without Broader Implications:
There is a noticeable reduction in localized studies that do not attempt to draw broader implications or conclusions, as the journal increasingly emphasizes research with widespread clinical relevance.
