Exploration of health disparities in dermatological care, particularly concerning marginalized populations, is increasingly prominent, reflecting a commitment to equity in health. - Environmental Factors and Skin Health:
Research examining the interplay between environmental factors, such as pollution and UV exposure, and skin health is on the rise, addressing broader public health concerns.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Cosmetic Dermatology:
Research focused on purely cosmetic dermatology procedures has seen a decrease, as there is a growing emphasis on clinically relevant outcomes and evidence-based practices. - General Dermatological Conditions without Novel Insights:
There is a waning interest in studies that do not provide new insights or advancements in understanding common skin conditions, as the field moves towards more innovative and impactful research. - Single-Center Studies with Limited Generalizability:
Publications featuring single-center studies that lack broader applicability or multi-center collaboration are becoming less frequent, as there is a preference for studies with more extensive datasets and diverse populations. - Basic Science Research without Clinical Relevance:
Although basic science remains important, studies that do not connect findings to clinical applications or implications for patient care are less prioritized in recent issues. - Overlapping Topics with Minimal Novelty:
Research that largely reiterates previously established findings without offering new perspectives or methodologies is declining, as the journal seeks to maintain a high standard of originality.
