Declining or Waning
- Traditional Infectious Disease Surveillance:
As new technologies and methods for biosurveillance have emerged, traditional surveillance methods may be receiving less emphasis, as researchers explore more innovative approaches. - Focus on Domestic Health Security Issues:
There has been a noticeable shift towards global health security and international collaboration, leading to a potential waning interest in purely domestic health security challenges. - Historical Case Studies of Past Outbreaks:
Research focusing on historical analyses of past infectious disease outbreaks may be decreasing as the journal prioritizes contemporary issues and future preparedness. - Single-Disease Focus Studies:
The journal appears to be moving away from studies that focus exclusively on single infectious diseases in favor of broader, multi-disease approaches that consider overall health system resilience. - Veterinary and Animal Health Security:
While animal health remains important, research specifically addressing veterinary health security is becoming less prominent as human health security takes precedence.
