“…The principal limitation of the study is the opportunistic sampling design of the survey focus on a particular research environment, making the results difficult to generalize to other research institutions in our region or in other areas of Spain. Yet, the results obtained herein align with those reported in distant geographical areas such as the United States ( Myers et al, 2020 ; Subramanya et al, 2020 ; Sloane and Zimmerman, 2021 ). Another limitation is the low return rate for questionnaires (21.7%), but this response rate is, however, similar to that seen in other surveys of analogous study populations ( Alonso-Flores and Moreno-Castro, 2018 ; Alonso et al, 2021 ).…”

From March to September 2020, researchers working at a biomedical scientific campus in Spain faced two lockdowns and various mobility restrictions that affected their social and professional lifestyles. The working group “Women in Science,” which acts as an independent observatory of scientific gender inequalities on campus launched an online survey to assess the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on scientific activity, domestic and caregiving tasks, and psychological status. The survey revealed differences in scientific performance by gender: while male researchers participated in a larger number of scientific activities for career development, female researchers performed more invisible scientific tasks, including peer review or outreach activities. Mental impact was greater in researchers caring for children or dependents, and this was aggravated for women. Results spot a disproportionate impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on female scientific career development, and urges for equity measures to mitigate the consequences of an increase in the gender gap in biomedical sciences for current and future pandemics.

“…The ability to judge and evaluate a nation's scientific publication is vital for healthcare institutions, the government and even for business ventures. Internationally, it was estimated that 4% of the world's research output was devoted to the coronavirus in 2020, but 2020 also observed an exponential increase in publications on all subjects submitted to scientific journals, perhaps many researchers had to stay at home and focus on writing up papers rather than conducting science [ [17] , [18] , [19] ]. Bibliometric studies provide interesting methods for measuring the scientific value of a particular field over a specific time [ [12] , [13] , [14] ].…”

“…Journals have accelerated the peer-review process to ensure rapid dissemination of the findings and therefore have received an overwhelming number of papers on the COVID-19 pandemic. A PubMed-based search identified more than 100,000 COVID-19 articles published in 2020, leading to a ∼10% increase in the total publication numbers over 2019 [1] . The unprecedented speed and volume of publishing on COVID-19 have greatly contributed to advancing our knowledge of this pandemic and to timely guiding medical management and policy-making.…”
