Declining or Waning
- Traditional Surgical Techniques:
While foundational surgical techniques are still discussed, there is a noticeable decline in the publication of studies focused solely on traditional methods without incorporating innovative approaches or technology. - General Ophthalmology Topics:
Papers that cover broad ophthalmology topics unrelated to oculoplastic surgery are becoming less common, as the journal increasingly prioritizes content that is directly relevant to plastic and reconstructive surgery. - Single-Center Studies:
There is a gradual reduction in the number of single-center studies, with a preference shifting towards multicenter collaborations that provide more robust data and broader applicability. - Basic Pathophysiology Research:
Research focused solely on the basic pathophysiology of ocular diseases, without clinical implications or surgical relevance, is receiving less attention in favor of studies that directly inform surgical practice. - Historical Perspectives:
While historical reviews once held interest, there is a noticeable decline in their publication, as contemporary issues and innovations take precedence in the journal's focus.
