“…Second, some scientists may have their publications split into two or more Scopus ID files and some Scopus ID files may include papers by more than one author. Nevertheless, Scopus data have high precision and recall (98.1% and 94.4%, respectively) [4], therefore this is unlikely to be a source of major error. Third, we could not evaluate whether the massive advent of the COVID-19 literature and of its citation footprint affected (negatively) the non-COVID-19 literature and its citations.…”

“…This shift of the research enterprise and massive production of COVID-19–related publications (“covidization”) may have had implications for citations to recent scientific work. In most scientific disciplines, most papers get few, if any, citations in the first year, and citations appear gradually, spread over many years, with citation half-lives that typically exceed 5 y for most scientific fields and may exceed 10 y for some fields ( 3 – 5 ). The half-life of the citation pattern for COVID-19 work is still unknown, given the short-term follow-up for the COVID-19 published papers.…”

“…The top 10 issuing institutions are shown in Table 3. Among them, "year" represents the year of publication, and half-life is the number of years that shows how the literature is calculated forward from the statistical year, accounting for 50% of the total number of citations of the literature up to the statistical year, which represents the classic degree of the literature [29]. The greater the half-life, the longer the influence.…”
