Declining or Waning

While the journal maintains a broad focus on veterinary sciences, some areas have shown a decline in publication frequency or relevance. This may reflect shifts in research interests or funding availability.
  1. Traditional Veterinary Practices:
    Research related to conventional veterinary practices and treatments has seen a decline as the field moves towards more innovative and evidence-based approaches.
  2. Overreliance on Antibiotics:
    There has been a noticeable decrease in studies promoting antibiotic use, likely due to increasing awareness of antimicrobial resistance and the shift towards alternative therapies.
  3. Generalized Animal Husbandry Practices:
    Topics focused solely on traditional animal husbandry without integrating modern techniques or sustainability have become less prominent, as the field evolves towards more comprehensive and sustainable practices.
  4. Clinical Case Reports:
    While clinical case reports remain valuable, there has been a waning interest in publishing such reports in favor of more data-driven research and experimental studies.
  5. Non-Integrated Approaches to Veterinary Science:
    Research that does not encompass interdisciplinary or integrated approaches is becoming less common, as the field increasingly recognizes the need for comprehensive solutions to animal health challenges.
