A scientometric analysis of male infertility publication from 2020 to 2022

According to the International Committee for the Monitoring of Assisted Reproductive Technologies of the World Health Organization (WHO), infertility is a disease of the reproductive system defined by the inability to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular sexual intercourse, without protection. Infertility problems affect almost 15% of couples worldwide. This means that around 48 million couples around the world have difficulty conceiving a child despite trying for a year or more. Of these cases, almost 30% are due to male infertility problems. Articles on male infertility published between the years 2020 and 2022 were analyzed for information on the structure, history of the topic, and relationships between the articles. This article explains the top 10 categories of publications, such as sources, author, journal, geographic region, institution, and language. Male infertility in men depends on the continuous daily production of millions of sperm. Spermatogenesis is a highly complex sequence of steps by which an undifferentiated diploid spermatogonium matures into a specialized and genetically unique haploid spermatozoon. Infertility care includes the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infertility. Equal and equitable access to infertility care remains a challenge in most countries; especially in low- and middle-income countries. Infertility care is rarely a priority in national universal health coverage benefit packages. The present study explores the scientometric analysis of male fertility through publications. This study covered worldwide infertility records between 2020 and 2022. Data was compiled from the Web of Science database.
