Declining or Waning
- Traditional Toxicology of Heavy Metals:
Although still relevant, the focus on traditional toxicology studies of heavy metals has decreased as research increasingly shifts towards understanding the mechanisms of trace elements in biological systems and their therapeutic roles. - General Dietary Recommendations without Specific Context:
Research providing broad dietary recommendations regarding trace elements without specific contextual or population-based insights is becoming less common, as studies now emphasize personalized and context-specific approaches. - Environmental Monitoring without Health Correlation:
Environmental studies that do not directly correlate trace element levels with health outcomes or biological effects are less frequently published, as the journal aims to connect environmental findings to human health implications. - Basic Elemental Composition Studies:
Research focusing solely on the elemental composition of samples without exploring functional or health-related implications is waning, as the journal encourages studies that provide deeper insights into biological relevance. - In vitro Studies without Translational Relevance:
There is a noticeable decline in purely in vitro studies that lack clear translational relevance to human health, with a growing preference for research that bridges laboratory findings with clinical applications.
