As ART becomes more prevalent, there is an emerging trend towards examining the ethical, legal, and societal implications of these technologies, especially in the context of cultural attitudes in the Middle East.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Fertility Treatments:
There is a noticeable decrease in research focused on traditional fertility treatments as newer technologies and methodologies gain traction, leading to a preference for studies on ART and innovative therapeutic approaches. - Single-Factor Studies:
The journal has seen fewer publications concentrating solely on single factors affecting fertility, with a stronger emphasis now on integrated and multifactorial approaches that consider a broader range of influences. - Historical Perspectives on Fertility:
Research examining historical or outdated practices related to fertility is becoming less common, as the focus shifts towards contemporary methods and evidence-based practices. - Generalized Fertility Education:
While educational research remains important, there is a decline in generalized studies on fertility education, with more emphasis now being placed on targeted interventions and specific population studies. - Animal Models in Fertility Research:
The frequency of studies utilizing animal models for fertility research has decreased, as there is a growing preference for clinical research that directly addresses human reproductive health.
