Declining or Waning

Over the recent years, certain themes in the field of molecular diagnostics have seen a decline in prominence within the journal's publications. This section outlines these waning themes, reflecting shifts in research focus and emerging priorities.
  1. Traditional Diagnostic Methods:
    There has been a noticeable decrease in publications related to traditional diagnostic methods, such as histopathology and serological testing, as the field increasingly shifts towards molecular and genomic approaches.
  2. Basic Research without Clinical Application:
    Papers focusing solely on basic research without clear clinical implications or applications are becoming less frequent, as the journal prioritizes studies that bridge the gap between research and clinical practice.
  3. Single Biomarker Studies:
    Research centered around single biomarker assessments without a multi-omics or systems biology approach is declining, reflecting a trend towards more comprehensive diagnostic strategies that consider multiple biomarkers and pathways.
  4. Static Diagnostic Technologies:
    The exploration of static or outdated diagnostic technologies is waning, as the field moves towards innovative, dynamic, and high-throughput technologies that can provide better diagnostics.
  5. Non-integrative Studies:
    There is a decrease in studies that do not integrate molecular diagnostics with other clinical data or advanced analytics, as the trend is moving towards more holistic and integrative approaches to patient diagnostics.
