Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has sickened more than six million people worldwide. This context has led to an abundance of publications quickly since the beginning of the outbreak. In a few months, thousands of scientific papers have appeared. This article aims to provide a bibliometric analysis of the publications on COVID-19 in five high-impact journals indexed to the Web of Science Core Collection's Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) including The Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, Science, Nature, and JAMA-Journal of the American Medical Association. We found 169 documents associated with the search criteria. The findings indicate that China, the United States, and the United Kingdom are the most represented countries in these publications, The Lancet is the journal with the highest number of contributions with 66% of documents, and the University of Hong Kong leads the ranking of institutions. Future bibliometric and scientometric studies on COVID-19 should provide updated information to analyse other relevant indicators in this field.

高影响因子期刊上关于COVID-19的出版物:文献计量分析

由SARS-CoV-2病毒引起的新冠肺炎大流行已导致全球600多万人患病。自疫情爆发以来，这一背景迅速导致了大量出版物的出现。在几个月内，成千上万的科学论文出现了。本文旨在对科学网核心收藏的科学引文索引扩展（SCI-Expanded）中五种高影响力期刊上关于新冠肺炎的出版物进行文献计量分析，这些期刊包括《柳叶刀》、《新英格兰医学杂志》、《科学》、《自然》和《美国医学会杂志》。我们找到了169个与搜索条件相关的文档。研究结果表明，中国、美国和英国是这些出版物中最具代表性的国家，《柳叶刀》是贡献最多的期刊，拥有66%的文献，香港大学在机构排名中领先。未来关于新冠肺炎的文献计量学和科学计量学研究应提供最新信息，以分析该领域的其他相关指标。
