Research Output on Coronavirus: A Study

Scientometric approaches is measuring and mapping research activities

and outputs, used to (i) track the temporal and spatial development of research

fields and topics, (ii) assess the productivity and impact of researchers and

research institutions, as well as (iii) study patterns in gender balance in academia,

interdisciplinary, and peer review processes.

According to the World Health Organization, COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus. This new virus and disease

were unknown before the outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019.

In view of this research activities are being carried out around the world to cope

with the issues related to this Virus. A scientometric study in this area will help

the scientists to understand the progress in research and development. In

particular, the study was confined to the following: (1) To examine the growth of

literature on Coronavirus during the period 1989-2020; (2) To identify the

country-wise research contribution in Publications and Citations; (3) To identify

the worldwide Coronavirus research in context of subject areas; (4) To identify

the highly productive institutions and Citations in Coronavirus research; (5) To

identify the most productive authors with Citations; (6) To identify the most

productive journals with Impact Factor; (7) To Identification of core journals in

the field of Coronavirus and the application of Bradford's law as an indicator of

the dispersion of scientific literature; (8) To identify the Highly Cited Papers and

Cited References in Coronavirus Research; (9) To identify the Chronological

evolution of number of Papers in the field of Coronavirus.
