BACKGROUND: The novel coronavirus, named as 2019-nCoV or coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has recently appeared in China and has spread worldwide, presenting a health threat to the global community. Therefore, it is important to understand the global scientific output of COVID-19 research during the early stage of the outbreak. Thus, to track the current hotspots, and highlight future directions, we performed a bibliometric analysis to obtain an approximate scenario of COVID-19 to date. METHODS: Relevant studies to COVID-19 were obtained from the Scopus database during the early stage of the outbreak. We then analysed the data by using well-established bibliometric indices: document type, country, collaboration patterns, affiliation, journal name, and citation patterns. VOSviewer was applied to map and determine hot topics in this field. RESULTS: The bibliometric analysis indicated that there were 19,044 publications on Scopus published on COVID-19 during the early stage of the outbreak (December 2019 up until June 19, 2020). Of all these publications, 9140 (48.0%) were articles; 4192 (22.0%) were letters; 1797 (9.4%) were reviews; 1754 (9.2%) were editorials; 1728 (9.1%) were notes; and 433 (2.3%) were others. The USA published the largest number of publications on COVID-19 (4479; 23.4%), followed by China (3310; 17.4%), Italy, (2314; 12.2%), and the UK (1981; 10.4%). British Medical Journal was the most productive. The Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Tongji Medical, and Harvard Medical School were the institutions that published the largest number of COVID-19 research. The most prevalent topics of research in COVID-19 include "clinical features studies", "pathological findings and therapeutic design", "care facilities preparation and infection control", and "maternal, perinatal and neonatal outcomes". CONCLUSIONS: This bibliometric study may reflect rapidly emerging topics on COVID-19 research, where substantial research activity has already begun extensively during the early stage of the outbreak. The findings reported here shed new light on the major progress in the near future for hot topics on COVID-19 research including clinical features studies, pathological findings and therapeutic design, care facilities preparation and infection control, and maternal, perinatal and neonatal outcomes.
背景：新型冠状病毒，命名为 2019-nCoV 或冠状病毒病 2019（COVID-19），最近在中国出现，并已在全球范围内传播，对全球社会构成健康威胁。因此，了解 COVID-19 研究在疫情早期的全球科学产出非常重要。因此，为了跟踪当前的热点并突出未来的方向，我们进行了文献计量分析，以获得 COVID-19 的大致情况。
方法：从疫情早期的 Scopus 数据库中获取有关 COVID-19 的相关研究。然后，我们使用成熟的文献计量指标分析数据：文献类型、国家、合作模式、隶属关系、期刊名称和引文模式。VOSviewer 用于绘制和确定该领域的热点。
结果：文献计量分析表明，在疫情早期（2019 年 12 月至 2020 年 6 月 19 日），Scopus 上共发表了 19044 篇关于 COVID-19 的出版物。在所有这些出版物中，有 9140 篇（48.0%）是文章；4192 篇（22.0%）是信件；1797 篇（9.4%）是评论；1754 篇（9.2%）是社论；1728 篇（9.1%）是注释；433 篇（2.3%）是其他类型。美国发表的 COVID-19 相关出版物数量最多（4479 篇，占 23.4%），其次是中国（3310 篇，占 17.4%）、意大利（2314 篇，占 12.2%）和英国（1981 篇，占 10.4%）。英国医学杂志是最具生产力的期刊。华中科技大学、同济医学院和哈佛医学院是发表 COVID-19 研究论文数量最多的机构。COVID-19 研究中最常见的研究主题包括“临床特征研究”、“病理发现和治疗设计”、“护理设施准备和感染控制”以及“母婴、围产期和新生儿结局”。
结论：本文献计量研究可能反映了 COVID-19 研究中迅速出现的主题，在疫情早期已经广泛开展了大量研究。这里报告的结果为 COVID-19 研究的热点问题，包括临床特征研究、病理发现和治疗设计、护理设施准备和感染控制以及母婴、围产期和新生儿结局，提供了新的见解。
