“…Our analysis revealed that the COVID-19 related mucormycosis research was mainly carried out in the low-and middle-income countries, unlike research in several other medical fields during COVID-19 pandemic or even during pre-COVID-19 times, which shows domination by highincome countries of North America or Western Europe. [21][22][23][24][30][31][32] This is understandable as the low-or middle-income countries were particularly hit by the dual burden of COVID-19 and CAM. 6,7 But even while the productivity of organizations and authors from low-and middle-income countries was substantial, it was the high-income countries such as France and the USA that led in CAM research impact.…”

“…21,22 Similarly, recent analyses of mucormycosis research included publications before the global surge in CAM infections. [23][24][25] Two other bibliometric studies that focussed on CAM and included publications till May and August 2021, respectively, provided analyses of 154 and 51 publications only, far lower than would be expected of an intensely researched topic. 26,27 Thus a comprehensive mapping of CAM research is still lacking.…”

Background:Mucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection that has shown a surge during the COVID-19 pandemic. A comprehensive assessment of COVID-19 associated mucormycosis (CAM) research is lacking. Methods: We searched Elsevier's Scopus database for publications on CAM using a pre-defined search strategy. Data on publications numbers, citation metrics, contributing countries, institutions, authors, journals, and the most cited articles were analyzed using select bibliometric tools. Results: Published CAM research included 253 publications. These were cited 1560 times, averaging 6.1 citations per paper. Only 33 (13%) were funded. Original articles (55.7%) and reviews (17.7%) constituted the major share of global output. The studied age groups included adults (22.5%), middle-aged (19.3%), elderly (10.6%), and adolescents (0.8%). Studies on treatment accounted for the largest share (58.5%), followed by clinical studies (28.0%), complications (17.3%), risk factors (11.7%), epidemiology (7.9%), and pathophysiology (3.1%). The participating countries were 64; India, the USA, and Egypt led in productivity, whereas France, the USA, and Iran were more impactful. Of the 84 organizations, the leading organizations were PGIMER-Chandigarh, AIIMS-New Delhi and Cairo University, Egypt. A. Chakrabarti, V. Muthu, and S.M. Rudramurthy were the most productive of 160 participating authors. Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, and Journal of Fungi were the most active journals that published CAM research. Conclusion: Research on CAM has primarily been conducted in middleincome countries and is low on quality. High-income countries need to collaborate with lowand middle-income countries for a sustainable and universal CAM research impact. There is also a need to focus on research gaps such as pathophysiology and epidemiology in future CAM research.

“…Gupta et al, for instance, provided a surface evaluation by reviewing studies of the 1998 to 2021 period. [22] Likewise, Sharma and Dubey included early publications of post-COVID mucormycosis included in the WHO (World Health Organization) database, yet only 51 articles were analyzed. [11] Mallikarjun et al also analyzed post-COVID mucormycosis studies and evaluated 154 documents.…”

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated mucormycosis (CAM) is a relatively new concept in the literature that emerged during the pandemic. Bibliometric analysis is a type of analysis that uses mathematical and statistical methods to study the formal properties of knowledge areas. This study aimed to reveal the main themes, conceptual structures, and trends of bibliometric studies on mucormycosis in 2 different periods, pre-and during the pandemic. Methods: This study consisted of 2 periods: pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19. Articles were collected from the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection database. We provided AND and OR connectors for the keyword query and selected studies based on relevant keywords. Collected data were classified based on their publication date and examined using the R programming language (Version 4.0.3) package Bibliometrix and SciMAT Software. Results: A total of 1261 articles were investigated, and performance and information structure analyses were conducted. Based on Bradford’s law, the Journal of Fungi was the top-ranked journal in both periods. Cureus and mycoses were placed 2nd and 3rd in the second period. India is the largest contributor. In performance analysis, conceptual structures such as Rhizopus oryzae, epidemiology, diagnosis, management, treatment, and outcomes were at the forefront of mucormycosis publications during the COVID-19 period. Conclusions: Research trends have shifted to the clinical treatment and management of COVID-19. Therefore, pathogenesis, diagnosis, follow-up, and treatment strategies for CAM should be developed in the future.

The aim of this paper is to review the optical properties of tellurite glasses doped by erbium and describe their bibliometric study about it. The research documents on of optical properties of tellurite glasses doped by erbium in the Scopus database are 115, start from 1999 until now. The visualization of the research assisted by VOSviewer software. There are three clusters: (1) red cluster for the optical properties begin from the fabrication process until the characterization of glasses based on the geometrical optics phenomena, (2) green cluster for the emission spectra until the analysis using McCumbers Theory, and (3) erbium-doped tellurite glasses optical properties based on energy transfer and XRD analysis on the blue cluster. Based on the Scopus documents, not too many researchers are concerned with researching erbium-doped tellurite glasses, never more than 12 documents per year. However, the researchers are consistent to explore further exploring the characteristics of the optical properties of glass exposed to erbium ion for laser applications.The research funding shows that the tellurite glasses doped by erbium are being developed for laser applications.
