“…Studies that have analyzed the growth rate, areas of research concentration, author productivity, and authorship patterns in this field demonstrate it. (12,13,14) The present study shows results that are in line with this trend.The year 2020, which was strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, showed a decrease in scientific production. However, it is important to note that the impact of COVID-19 on scientific productivity is not binary, with differing opinions and outcomes observed.…”
