Background:Mucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection that has shown a surge during the COVID-19 pandemic. A comprehensive assessment of COVID-19 associated mucormycosis (CAM) research is lacking. Methods: We searched Elsevier's Scopus database for publications on CAM using a pre-defined search strategy. Data on publications numbers, citation metrics, contributing countries, institutions, authors, journals, and the most cited articles were analyzed using select bibliometric tools. Results: Published CAM research included 253 publications. These were cited 1560 times, averaging 6.1 citations per paper. Only 33 (13%) were funded. Original articles (55.7%) and reviews (17.7%) constituted the major share of global output. The studied age groups included adults (22.5%), middle-aged (19.3%), elderly (10.6%), and adolescents (0.8%). Studies on treatment accounted for the largest share (58.5%), followed by clinical studies (28.0%), complications (17.3%), risk factors (11.7%), epidemiology (7.9%), and pathophysiology (3.1%). The participating countries were 64; India, the USA, and Egypt led in productivity, whereas France, the USA, and Iran were more impactful. Of the 84 organizations, the leading organizations were PGIMER-Chandigarh, AIIMS-New Delhi and Cairo University, Egypt. A. Chakrabarti, V. Muthu, and S.M. Rudramurthy were the most productive of 160 participating authors. Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, and Journal of Fungi were the most active journals that published CAM research. Conclusion: Research on CAM has primarily been conducted in middleincome countries and is low on quality. High-income countries need to collaborate with lowand middle-income countries for a sustainable and universal CAM research impact. There is also a need to focus on research gaps such as pathophysiology and epidemiology in future CAM research.

Objective. Invasive fungal infections, specifically mucormycosis, showed a massive surge during the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing the global medical fraternity to research this highly fatal co-infection. India has contributed significantly to COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM) research, but a bibliometric analysis of this research topic is scarce. Using established bibliometric methods, we aimed to provide the yield and impact of CAM research in India. Design/Methodology/Approach. The publication data on CAM was extracted from Scopus. Data was analyzed using quality indices such as citations per paper (CPP), relative citation index (RCI), and total linkage strength (TLS). Results/Discussion. India contributed 640 (61.2%) to 1045 global publications on CAM research involving 548 authors from 247 organizations. Only 62 (9.8%) and 96 (15.0%) publications were funded and collaborative. The CAM research was focused on clinical features (36.5%), complications (21.7%), risk factors (19.2%), epidemiology (12.3%), diagnostics & imaging (6.8%), treatment outcomes (4.5%), prognosis (3.4%) and pathophysiology (3.1%). The average CPP of Indian publications was 7.8 compared to 28.2 CPP in France, 17.8 CPP in the USA, 8.7 CPP in Saudi Arabia, 8.3 CPP in Bangladesh, and 8.1 CPP in Iran. The major collaborations were with the USA, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, the UK, Pakistan, Malaysia, and UAE. The most productive organizations were PGIMER-Chandigarh (n=47), AIIMS-New Delhi (n=44), and AIIIMS-Jodhpur (n=17), whereas the most impactful organizations were SMS Medical College, Jaipur, SGPGIMS, Lucknow and BJ Medical College, Ahmedabad. The most productive authors were A. Chakrabarti, V. Muthu, and R. Agarwal, and the most impactful were I.S. Sehgal, R. Agarwal, and V. Muthu. The most preferred journals were the Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, the Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery, and BMJ Case Reports. Conclusions. Even though India is the topmost contributor to global CAM research, the quality of its publications is lower than those from France and the USA. The CAM research is largely non-funded. There is a need to improve international collaboration and increase focus on pathophysiology, epidemiology, and pediatric aspects. This may lead to an improved understanding of CAM and increase survival in affected patients.
