Declining or Waning

While the journal continues to thrive in several core areas, certain themes have seen a noticeable decline in focus over the recent years. These waning scopes may reflect shifting priorities in pharmaceutical research and education or emerging trends that overshadow previous interests.
  1. Traditional Herbal Medicine:
    Research on traditional herbal remedies has decreased, possibly due to a growing preference for modern pharmaceuticals and the need for more rigorous clinical validation of herbal products.
  2. Basic Pharmacological Studies:
    There seems to be a decline in studies focused solely on basic pharmacology without translational implications, as there is a stronger emphasis on clinical relevance and application.
  3. Animal Models in Drug Testing:
    The use of animal models for initial drug testing appears to be waning, likely due to ethical concerns and the push for alternative methods that reduce animal testing.
  4. Pharmaceutical Marketing Strategies:
    Papers focusing on traditional pharmaceutical marketing strategies and business models are less frequent, possibly due to an increased focus on patient-centered care and outcomes.
  5. Regulatory Framework Studies:
    There is a noticeable decrease in articles exclusively addressing regulatory frameworks, as these topics may be integrated into broader discussions of drug development and education.
