There seems to be a decreasing trend in studies relying solely on quantitative metrics for assessing intellectual capital, with a growing preference for qualitative insights and mixed-method approaches. - Sector-Specific Studies:

The use of basic or well-established theoretical frameworks without novel contributions or adaptations is declining, with a demand for fresh perspectives and innovative theoretical developments. - Generalized Human Capital Discussions:
Discussions on human capital that lack specificity or contextual relevance are less frequent, as researchers are now expected to connect human capital discussions to broader intellectual capital themes.
