Objective This study aimed to estimate research productivity and general characteristics of research in different regions of the world in the field of human metapneumovirus (hMPV). Materials and Methods We used the Web of Science (WoS) electronic database to retrieve articles on “human metapneumovirus,” published up to March 31, 2023. Parameters such as research productivity, the total number of publications, average citation counts of all articles, research productivity by top publishing countries and affiliated organizations, links between countries/organizations, and top keywords were assessed. Results We found 826 articles in the WoS database. The first article on hMPV was published in 2002, and 2008 was the year that the most articles on hMPV were published, with 70 articles. The articles were cited 26,797 times ( 14 ,498 times without self-citations) and 32.25 times on average per article. Hirsch (H)-index was 80. The year 2008 also had the highest number of citations, with more than 1800. The United States was the most productive country, producing 295 documents (35.714%), one-third of all publications in this field worldwide. Canada (6.5%) and Japan (6.5%) followed the United States regarding total hMPV publications worldwide. The leading funding agencies for hMPV research were from the United States, Europe, China, and Japan. Conclusion Our findings imply that developed countries should assist developing countries in enhancing their research infrastructures.

“…Similarly, a bibliometric analysis by Tauseef Ahmad showed that the United States and Saudi Arabia were the most active and funding countries. Their study also revealed that the Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia was the most active institution, and Saudi Arabia was the country with the strongest cooperation ( 18 ). According to data from the Scopus database, another bibliometric analysis by Sa'ed H. Zyoud revealed a global increase in research on MERS-CoV from 2012 to 2015.…”

Objective: This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the global scientific output related to the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) between 2012 and 2022. Materials and Methods: The Web of Science database was searched for articles on MERS-CoV published between 2012 and 2022 for bibliometric analysis. The parameters such as publication year, publication type, funding agencies, research institutions, journals, impact factors, language, and citation numbers of articles were analyzed. Results: We included 1475 articles on MERS-CoV from 86 countries. The United States was the most published country on MERS-CoV, with 487 articles. The Saudi Ministry of Health (7.53%), King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences (6.92%), and The Egyptian Knowledge Bank (6.64%) were the most published institutions. The researchers who published the most on MERS-CoV were from Saudi Arabia. One thousand two hundred six funding agencies funded publications on MERS-CoV, most of which were funded by agencies from the United States. Conclusion: MERS-CoV remains important because no treatment and no vaccine have been found since it was first detected, and accordingly, it continues to affect the world with new outbreaks and high mortality rates. In addition, experiences with MERS-CoV during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have guided new research on COVID-19, so scientific interest in MERS-CoV is still ongoing. Keywords: bibliometric analysis, MERS-CoV, Middle East respiratory syndrome, publications

“…Previously, MERS-CoV like viruses have also been reported in different bats across the globe ( Anthony et al, 2017 ; Kim et al, 2016 ; Lau et al, 2018b ; Luo et al, 2018 ; Moreno et al, 2017 ; Yang et al, 2014 ). MERS-CoV is a zoonotic virus and the potential reservoirs are considered to be Bats and the intermediate hosts are dromedary camels (source of transmissions to human) ( Ahmad, 2022 ).…”
