Analysis of research hotspots in COVID-19 genomics based on citespace software: Bibliometric analysis

Abstract

IntroductionTo analyze the current state, hotspots, and cutting-edge trends of genomics research on the outbreak of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) from 2019 to the present (March 2022).MethodsStatistical and visual analysis of COVID-19 genomics results published in the 2019-2022 Web of Science Core Collection Database (WOSCC) was performed using CiteSpace software, including data on countries, institutions, authors, journals, co-citations, keywords, etc.ResultsA total of 9133 English literature were included. The number of publications has significantly increased in 2021, and it is expected that this upward trend will last into the future. The research hotspots of COVID-19 revolve around quarantine, biological management, angiotensin-converting enzyme-2, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, etc. Research frontiers and trends focus on molecular docking, messenger RNA, functional receptor, etc.ConclusionThe last two years have seen a significant increase in research interest in the field of novel coronavirus pneumonia genomics.

Exploring the research landscape of COVID-19-induced olfactory dysfunction: A bibliometric study

“…As of January 23, 2023, Since 1969(Pritchard, 1969, bibliometric analysis has been widely used in scientific and application fields (Ellegaard and Wallin, 2015;Huang et al, 2016;Xu et al, 2021). Since 2020, bibliometric analysis has been used (Zhang et al, 2020;Lin et al, 2022;Pang et al, 2022;Xie et al, 2022) to help researchers grasp the knowledge base, hot spots, and trends in the research field of COVID-19. VOSviewer, a powerful bibliometric analysis software developed by van Eck and Waltman in 2010, which offers advanced graphical representation capabilities for mapping knowledge units and their relationships within the research literature (van Eck and Waltman, 2010).…”
