  6. Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses:
    An increase in systematic reviews and meta-analyses indicates a trend towards comprehensive evaluations of existing literature, supporting evidence-based practices in toxicology.

Declining or Waning

While the journal has maintained a robust focus on many areas of toxin research, certain themes have shown a decline in prevalence over the recent years. This may reflect shifts in research funding, public interest, or emerging scientific priorities.
  1. Traditional Pesticide Studies:
    Research specifically focusing on traditional pesticides has decreased, possibly due to the increasing emphasis on integrated pest management and biopesticides.
  2. Single Toxin Characterization:
    There has been a noted reduction in studies that focus solely on the characterization of individual toxins, as interdisciplinary approaches become more favored.
  3. Historical Toxicological Assessments:
    Research that primarily examines historical data or cases of toxin exposure without contemporary relevance has waned, as the field shifts towards more applicable and current studies.
