Declining or Waning
- Basic Science Research:
There appears to be a declining focus on basic science studies that explore fundamental biological mechanisms of MS, as the journal increasingly prioritizes clinical and translational research. - Historical Epidemiological Studies:
Research focusing solely on historical epidemiological trends without contemporary relevance may be waning, as the journal shifts towards studies that provide actionable insights for current clinical practice. - Single-Disorder Focus:
There is a noticeable reduction in publications that focus exclusively on multiple sclerosis, with a growing trend towards comparative studies involving related disorders, such as neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders. - Pharmacovigilance Studies without Clinical Implications:
Studies that examine adverse drug reactions in isolation, without linking findings to clinical outcomes or treatment strategies, have become less common.
