This paper analyzes historical trends of academic research on the water environment in Japan over the past 50 years in relation to societal circumstances by looking into 1470 articles published in a Japanese domestic journal during 1961–2010. We examined three components of the individual articles to substantiate the trends including “Visions”, “Target Water”, and “Objects”. The database of these components was first constructed, and then statistically analyzed. Principal components analyses revealed two historical turning points of the research trends, in 1970 and in the mid-1990s, showing first a clear transition of the main concern from industrial pollution to eutrophication, and later, a transition to global environmental issues. We also demonstrate that Visions and Target Water gradually diversified during the past 50 years, indicating that although the research activity in the early periods focused on serious pollution issues, more recently, the scope of water environmental studies expanded to various other issues along with the improvement in the quality of the water environment. We argue that academic research activity in Japan was conducted in close association with public concern and global movements in a timely and sensitive manner. Such knowledge could also provide implications to other nations facing serious water pollution.

The 19Th Century

In domestic obstetrics and gynecology, the last quarter of the 19th century occupies a special place: the first obstetric-gynecological society in Russia appeared in St. Petersburg (03.03.1886) and the first domestic "Journal of Obstetrics and Women's Diseases" began to be published (trial issue was published on December 11 .1886). The initiator of the creation of the journal was the chairman of the St. Petersburg obstetric-gynecological society, professor A.Ya. Krassovsky, who believed that "society needs to have its own printed organ like a collection or a magazine, which would contain not only the works of society, but in general the work of domestic figures in obstetrics and gynecology ...".
