Abstract

Abstract Since 2019, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has transformed into a global pandemic, and studies on COVID-19 are crucial in finding solutions to deal with the pandemic. The objective of this study is to present a bibliometric analysis of COVID-19–related literature published in Pakistani medical journals. In this study, the PakMediNet database was searched for COVID-19–related literature on February 11, 2022. The required bibliometric data of each publication were documented in Microsoft Excel. About 67% of the 480 articles found were original articles, among which the vast majority (99%) were published in 2021 and 2022. Hamzaullah Khan, Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences, and the National University of Medical Sciences were the most prolific author, journal, and institution, respectively. The most cited publication received 491 citations. Psychology and public health were the most preferred subjects. Pakistani medical journals have published a significant number of publications on COVID-19. However, international contributions and citations of these publications were low.

对巴基斯坦医学期刊的文献计量分析表明，与冠状病毒疾病相关的出版物呈指数增长

摘要自2019年以来，新型冠状病毒疾病（新冠肺炎）已转变为全球大流行，对新冠肺炎的研究对于找到应对这一流行病的解决方案至关重要。本研究的目的是对发表在巴基斯坦医学杂志上的新冠肺炎相关文献进行文献计量分析。在本研究中，于2022年2月11日在PakMediNet数据库中搜索新冠肺炎相关文献。每份出版物所需的文献计量数据都记录在Microsoft Excel中。在发现的480篇文章中，约67%是原创文章，其中绝大多数（99%）发表在2021年和2022年。Hamzaullah Khan、《巴基斯坦医学科学杂志》和国立医学科学大学分别是最多产的作者、期刊和机构。被引用次数最多的出版物共被引用491次。心理学和公共卫生是最受欢迎的科目。巴基斯坦医学杂志发表了大量关于新冠肺炎的出版物。然而，这些出版物的国际贡献和引用率很低。
