“…In India also, there is a considerable and constant growth of publications on COVID-19 from mid-April. 5 The area of research has a diverse topic of interest that includes clinical research such as epidemiology, diagnosis treatments, as well as social research such as trend analysis, forecasting of situation etc. One of the research areas also includes the potential acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine during the human trials of the vaccines.…”

The acceptance of any vaccine relies on the belief and perception towards it. After a wait of almost 10 months, the COVID-19 vaccine is ready with the first phase in progress in India. The aim of this study is to assess the impact on the acceptance intentions of COVID-19 vaccine among the general population of India after the vaccine is inoculated to health care workers in the first phase. An empirical study was conducted by analyzing the data collected by a self-administered questionnaire. The various variables that were addressed were the socio-demographic variables, past behavior of participants towards such seasonal influenza vaccine, awareness about the vaccine and adoption intention post vaccination drive. Logistic regression was used to identify the association between various variables and the predicting variables for the vaccine acceptance. Majority of them were ready for the COVID-19 vaccine. However, there was a decline in the acceptance rate post vaccination drive. Age, Gender and Region were found as the major factors affecting this decision. To analyse, 1. The shift in confidence level in COVID-19 vaccine; 2. The role of Social Influence (SI) towards COVID-19 vaccine; 3. The role of past behavior towards seasonal influenza vaccines (Swine Flu, Ebola or similar) in acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine; 4. The association bet ween awareness of the COVID-19 vaccine and rate of adoption.: The study was conducted by analyzing the data collected by a self-administered questionnaire that was shared online across India in January 2021 – February 2021. The variables that were addressed through the questionnaire were the socio-demographic variables, past behavior of participants towards such seasonal influenza vaccine, awareness about the vaccine and adoption intention post vaccination drive. Associations between various variables were observed during analysis. Logistic regression was also used to identify the predicting variables for the vaccine acceptance. Statistical analysis used: Odds Ratio, p-value, logistic regression Out of 456 respondents, 59.21% were ready to uptake the COVID-19 vaccination, whereas 16.67% respondents declined to take the vaccine. There were 24.12% respondents who were not sure about the acceptance of the vaccine. Younger age groups specifically male from Northern India were more likely to accept the vaccine. The major findings of the study shows that after the start of implementation of COVID-19 vaccination drive, there is a drop in the number of people who are ready to take the vaccine as compared to the number before the arrival of the vaccine. This may lead to the conclusion that the faith of general people of India has declined in the COVID-19 vaccine post vaccination drive.

“…Apart from taking a social perspective, we also touch upon limitations, as well as aspects of bibliometry that are generally not explored in typical studies in this area. For example, several previous works on bibliometric investigations into the pandemic have explored papers originating from specific countries or languages [ 24 , 25 ], or the pandemic from a subject specific perspective [ 26 ], or the exploration of the top N papers [ 27 ]. More general pandemic-related investigations have highlighted aspects such as the most productive authors, the most cited papers, the value of pre-prints, etc.…”

A global event such as the COVID-19 crisis presents new, often unexpected responses that are fascinating to investigate from both scientific and social standpoints. Despite several documented similarities, the coronavirus pandemic is clearly distinct from the 1918 flu pandemic in terms of our exponentially increased, almost instantaneous ability to access/share information, offering an unprecedented opportunity to visualise rippling effects of global events across space and time. Personal devices provide “big data” on people’s movement, the environment and economic trends, while access to the unprecedented flurry in scientific publications and media posts provides a measure of the response of the educated world to the crisis. Most bibliometric (co-authorship, co-citation, or bibliographic coupling) analyses ignore the time dimension, but COVID-19 has made it possible to perform a detailed temporal investigation into the pandemic. Here, we report a comprehensive network analysis based on more than 20,000 published documents on viral epidemics, authored by over 75,000 individuals from 140 nations in the past one year of the crisis. Unlike the 1918 flu pandemic, access to published data over the past two decades enabled a comparison of publishing trends between the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and those of the 2003 SARS epidemic to study changes in thematic foci and societal pressures dictating research over the course of a crisis.

“…Some bibliometric studies have been done on COVID-19, and the main studies cover the following topics: general and relatively all-inclusive bibliometric studies ( 16 - 18 ); bibliometric study on the global research on Covid-19 ( 19 ); Covid-19 global focused topics ( 20 ) and co-occurred keywords ( 21 ); its medical-related evidence ( 22 ); research trends in Covid-19 and in other emerging viral infections ( 23 - 25 ); its global research output indexed in Dimensions database ( 26 ) and that of Web of Science ( 27 , 28 ); COVID-19 early published literature ( 29 ); long-term historical and/or bibliometrics study on Covid-19 ( 17 , 30 - 32 ); more productive and influential agents in research on COVID-19 ( 33 ),including countries ( 34 ); and visualization on its research ( 35 , 36 ). Few studies investigated the contribution of individual countries or regions in this regard (Eg, India ( 37 ) and Latin America ( 38 )). Investigating the role of each country in COVID-19 research can inform the role of each country and needed requirements and potential gaps and strengths.…”

Background: COVID-19 pandemic crisis motivated researchers worldwide to deeply investigate it from different perspectives. As Iran is one of the highly-affected countries by Covid-19, Iranian researchers have focused on studying it. This study aimed at analyzing and visualizing Iranian researchers' papers on COVID-19 from a bibliometric perspective. Methods: By searching MeSH-selected keywords related to COVID-19 in Scopus, Iranian researchers' papers on COVID-19 were extracted in a CSV format and underwent bibliometric techniques, such as coauthorship analysis, citation, and co-citation analysis, keyword and term co-occurrence mapping and etc. in the Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer software package. Results: A total of 405 papers were authored by Iranian researchers on COVID-19 during the study period, with the average number of citations per paper of 2.60 and a mean h-index of 15. The majority of papers were original articles in English. Archives of Clinical Infectious Diseases and Archives of Iranian Medicine and Medical Hypotheses were highly ranked publishing journals, respectively. The most productive institute and author were Tehran University of Medical Sciences with 119 papers and Rezaei, N. with 12 papers. Iranian researchers collaborated with the researchers of 73 countries, with the USA ranking first in Covid-19 research, followed by Italy, Canada, and United Kingdom. In publishing papers on COVID-19, Iran ranked first among the Middle Eastern countries and thirteenth internationally. Conclusion: Iranian researchers were active in 5 main areas of COVID-19 research, including epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, virology, and systematic review.
