Trending and Emerging
- Zoonotic Diseases and One Health Approach:
A significant increase in research focusing on zoonotic diseases highlights the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. This trend emphasizes the importance of a One Health approach to disease prevention and control. - Genomics and Molecular Biology in Veterinary Medicine:
Emerging studies utilizing genomic and molecular techniques to understand animal diseases at the genetic level are becoming more prevalent. This includes research on genetic predispositions to diseases and the development of targeted therapies. - Telemedicine and Digital Health in Veterinary Practice:
With advancements in technology, research related to telemedicine and digital health solutions for veterinary practices is trending. This reflects a shift toward more accessible and remote veterinary care. - Sustainable Practices in Animal Agriculture:
Research focusing on sustainable farming practices, animal welfare, and environmental impacts is gaining traction. This includes studies on organic farming, antibiotic-free practices, and the use of alternative feed sources. - Behavioral Studies and Animal Welfare:
There is an increasing emphasis on research that explores animal behavior, welfare implications, and the psychological aspects of veterinary care, particularly in companion animals.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Animal Husbandry Practices:
Research focusing on conventional farming practices and their effects on animal health has decreased. This may be due to a growing emphasis on sustainable and ethical farming methods, alongside the rise of alternative agricultural practices. - Basic Veterinary Anatomy and Physiology:
Although foundational knowledge remains essential, the journal has seen less emphasis on purely anatomical or physiological studies without direct clinical application or relevance to current veterinary challenges. - Veterinary Education and Training Methods:
Research on traditional educational practices within veterinary schools is becoming less prevalent. There is a shift towards studies that evaluate innovative teaching techniques and the integration of technology in veterinary education. - Non-Companion Animal Research:
There has been a noticeable decline in studies specifically focused on non-companion animals, such as laboratory or exotic animals, as the journal increasingly emphasizes research on pets and livestock. - Veterinary Ethics and Welfare Studies:
While still important, dedicated research on veterinary ethics and welfare has become less frequent, possibly overshadowed by more immediate clinical and health-related studies.
