“…Adopting the short-term analysis technique, Da Silva et al (2020) have examined publication volumes of COVID-19 papers and identified top journals, countries and authors. Similarly, Costa et al (2020) performed keyword analysis and identified the most productive countries, institutions, authors and journals, Lou et al (2020) observed publication types, journals and publication countries, and Gianola et al (2020) identified that during the first five months of the pandemic most of the COVID-19 scientific literature comprised of short reports, opinions and perspectives. Chahrour et al (2020) focused on the international distribution of COVID-19 publications compared with the number of COVID-19 cases in the respective countries, again adopting a short-term analysis approach.…”

Publication patterns’ changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic: a longitudinal and short-term scientometric analysis

2021

In recent months the COVID-19 (also known as SARS-CoV-2 and Coronavirus) pandemic has spread throughout the world. In parallel, extensive scholarly research regarding various aspects of the pandemic has been published. In this work, we analyse the changes in biomedical publishing patterns due to the pandemic. We study the changes in the volume of publications in both peer reviewed journals and preprint servers, average time to acceptance of papers submitted to biomedical journals, international (co-)authorship of these papers (expressed by diversity and volume), and the possible association between journal metrics and said changes. We study these possible changes using two approaches: a shortterm analysis through which changes during the first six months of the outbreak are examined for both COVID-19 related papers and non-COVID-19 related papers; and a longitudinal approach through which changes are examined in comparison to the previous four years. Our results show that the pandemic has so far had a tremendous effect on all examined accounts of scholarly publications: A sharp increase in publication volume has been witnessed and it can be almost entirely attributed to the pandemic; a significantly faster mean time to acceptance for COVID-19 papers is apparent, and it has (partially) come at the expense of non-COVID-19 papers; and a significant reduction in international collaboration for COVID-19 papers has also been identified. As the pandemic continues to spread, these changes may cause a slow down in research in non-COVID-19 biomedical fields and bring about a lower rate of international collaboration.

“…In the field of COVID-19, there have been some research publications focusing on the analysis of the literature from the perspective of bibliometrics. Some of them discussed the global scientific research on COVID-19, and most of these publications analyzed the scientific productions related to COVID-19 (Costa et al, 2020;Dehghanbanadaki et al, 2020;Farooq et al, 2021;Mohadab et al, 2020;Oliveira et al, 2021). Meanwhile, in these publications, some authors summarized the hotspots and explored the future trends of the research (Gautam et al, 2020;Lou et al, 2020;Mao et al, 2020;Yang et al, 2020;Yu et al, 2020).…”

Research background: The outbreak and spread of COVID-19 brought disastrous influences to the development of human society, especially the development of economy. Purpose of the article: Considering that knowing about the situations of the existing studies about COVID-19 and economy is not only helpful to understand the research progress and the connections between COVID-19 and economy, but also provides effective suggestions for fighting against COVID-19 and protecting economy, this paper analyzes the existing studies on COVID-19 and economy from the perspective of bibliometrics. Methods: Firstly, the discussion starts from the statistical analysis, in which the basic distributions of the studies on different countries/regions, different publication sources, different publication years, etc., are presented. Then, the paper shows the cooperation situations of the researchers from analyzing the related citation networks, co-citation networks and cooperation networks. Further, the theme analysis of the related studies is presented, in which the related co-occurrence networks are shown, and then the detailed analyses of the studies are introduced. Based on these analyses, the discussions about future research are presented, and finally we draw a conclusion. Findings & value added: The analyses not only present the basic situation on the research about COVID-19 and Economy, but also show the future research trends, which can provide meaningful research expectations.

“…These considerations portray the potential of SR research for health and, in particular, for nursing, as they favor professionals to better conduct care in a therapeutic plan closer to the logic of the other for whom the care is intended (20) . Such research on COVID-19's SR in nursing is still restricted at the national level (21) , which requires development, as the results may support, within the scope of SUS, nurses' actions in health promotion.…”

The objective was to reflect on COVID-19 as a phenomenon of social representations and its implications for nursing and health. A theoretical-reflective study, guided by the precepts of social representations. Reading of scientific articles and books on social representations and official data on COVID-19 were sources for further analytical analysis in the light of theory. COVID-19 is a psycho-sociological phenomenon as it meets the criteria of relevance and practice, in addition to having an imagery and symbolic dimension that circulates in the mass media. There is a projective dimension of the disease by different social groups. The different daily behaviors express a socio-symbolic logic about the phenomenon. The criteria of relevance and practice, the image about the disease and its symbolic dimension support COVID-19 as a phenomenon of social representations, whose research has the potential to improve effective communication with the population, with a view to adherence to preventive care practices to infection.
