Declining or Waning
- Traditional Antibiotic Treatment Protocols:
Research on conventional antibiotic regimens is becoming less prominent as the focus shifts toward innovative therapies, combination treatments, and addressing antibiotic resistance. - Non-communicable Disease Co-infections:
There seems to be a reduction in studies specifically addressing the intersection of non-communicable diseases with infectious diseases, as the journal leans more towards acute infectious disease management. - Historical Perspectives on Infectious Diseases:
Less emphasis on historical analyses and retrospective studies of infectious disease outbreaks, possibly due to the urgent need for current and actionable research. - Vaccine Development for Established Diseases:
There is a noticeable decline in research dedicated solely to vaccines for already established infectious diseases, as the focus is shifting towards novel vaccines for emerging pathogens. - In-depth Case Studies from Limited Geographies:
Fewer publications are focusing on localized case studies, indicating a trend towards broader epidemiological studies that encompass wider geographic and demographic perspectives.
