General
There are so many publications released each year. These have been increasing until 2023 where there as a small decrease.
The number of publications linked to "IVF" search in Pub Med by year.
The number of Free Text and Free Text Review publications are also shown.
Searches for other key words will produce different numbers but similar profile!
The majority of publications are subscriber based articles where only the abstract is freely available.
A growing number are now published as open-access or free publications which means that anyone can read them.
However an even smaller number are published as open-access review articles. It is these articles that IVFDAILY Text Book seek to collate.

IVFDAILY allows a browser to review a number of current articles on a theme in a structure and enduring manner.
IVFDAILY allows browser to keep track of articles they have selected both to return to the same article and to document for professional development purposes.

TextBook
TextBook is an attempt to collate a lot of disparate Online-access reviews into a structured format to make it easier to browsers to quickly find one or more articles of interest about a specific topic.
The primary structure is a broad number of sections e.g. Mens Health or embryology. Each section contains a dynamic number of chapters. Each chapter contains the title and DOI of the reference thats all (at present). The browser can then open to article to read. Knowing where it is allows one to return and repeat.
On advantage of a structured is that an organization can use the list to create an ordered teaching program or an orientation program for new staff. There are other activities can could be developed around the chapters concept in IVFDaily. Contact IVFDaily with your ideas.
Of course, this list of articles in any chapter merely reflects those that have been found by IVFDaily. If there are other links that you may consider of interest to other browsers, you can select Contribute to alert IVFDaily to its presence.
Most have an embedded link that allows the webinar to play inside IVFDaily. The advantage of this is that IVFDaily can confirm you watched it and the duration of viewing. As a result you can document this for CPD purposes and for this you need an IVFDaily professional subscription.
The other advantage of using IVFDaily is to order and catalogue them. They can be used for training and orientation.
Advanced Publications
There are so many articles being published, how can anyone keep up. If you are working In a specific area than maybe you can but an IVF clinic covers such a broad area that staff need to be current this make it impossible.
Another option is Advanced Publications.
In this function, Daily reviews the publication list of a number of journals daily to capture the most recent publications. Only the title, journal and DOI are captured and allocated to a coding that is broader than that for IVFTextbooks. They are organized by day of entry into IVFDaily. This allows the browser to quickly view the topic being covered each day. These publications have just been accepted by the journal and loaded onto their website. The link is to the article as displayed by the journal web site.
However, the list could very quickly become enormous so IVFDaily keeps this links for about 90 days and then deletes them. It is not a reference center merely a temporary listing. It is designed to be viewed daily.
Access to the current listing are freely available but previous days listing require an active subscription.
The same subscription fro textbooks applies to advanced publications. If you have a browser subscription, the links are available but no record is kept of those opened. If you have a professional subscription, then IVFDaily will keep record of the links you have opened (for as long as the link is retained) to allow you to print your reading list for CPD documentation.
