Research that focuses solely on national case studies without comparative analysis to other jurisdictions is declining. The journal now favors studies that draw parallels and highlight lessons learned across different countries. - Static Regulatory Frameworks:
The exploration of static regulatory frameworks without addressing their adaptability to changing financial landscapes is less common. The journal is moving towards dynamic analyses that consider ongoing regulatory changes and their impacts. - Historical Perspectives on Money Laundering:
There is a noticeable decrease in papers focused on historical perspectives of money laundering practices. Recent publications prioritize contemporary issues and forward-looking solutions rather than retrospective analyses.
