Trending and Emerging
- Oral History and Personal Narratives:
The increasing focus on oral history, especially in medical contexts, highlights the importance of personal narratives in understanding historical practices and experiences in science and medicine. - Critical Examination of Academic Structures:
A growing interest in the politics of academia and the changing structures within universities suggests a concern with employment practices, academic freedom, and the role of political activism in the sciences. - Integration of Environmental and Health Issues:
Emerging themes reflect a critical intersection of health, environment, and technology, emphasizing how historical perspectives can inform contemporary debates on public health and ecological sustainability. - Collaborative and Community-Based Research:

Declining or Waning
- Historical Studies of Ancient Sciences:
Research related to ancient scientific practices and knowledge systems appears to be receiving less attention, possibly as the focus shifts towards more contemporary issues and their historical implications. - Narrowly Defined Technological Studies:
Papers that focus exclusively on specific technologies without a broader cultural or historical context have become less frequent, suggesting a move towards more integrative approaches. - Traditional Medical Histories:
The exploration of traditional medical practices, while still relevant, seems to have diminished, as the journal increasingly prioritizes more contemporary issues in medicine and health. - Static Narratives of Science:
There is a noticeable decline in papers that present science in a static narrative framework, with a preference for dynamic, contextually rich analyses that consider multiple perspectives and histories.
