Declining or Waning
- Traditional Histopathology:
There is a noticeable decline in studies focusing solely on traditional histopathological findings without integrating advanced imaging techniques. This may indicate a shift towards more holistic and technology-driven approaches to diagnosis. - Basic Science Research:
Research articles centered on basic science or laboratory studies without direct clinical implications are becoming less prominent, as the emphasis moves towards clinical applicability and patient-centered outcomes. - General Dermatology Topics:
Publications covering broad dermatological topics without a specific focus on innovative techniques or treatments are less frequent, suggesting a trend towards more specialized and targeted research. - Single-Center Studies:
There is a decrease in the number of single-center studies, as larger, multicenter collaborations are becoming more common, reflecting a desire for broader data applicability and validation. - Non-Clinical Surveys:
Surveys that do not have a direct clinical application or relevance to patient outcomes are being published less frequently, indicating a preference for research that demonstrates tangible benefits in dermatological practice.
