With the rapid global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers have contributed several important advances. The WHO and countries with severe outbreaks have developed diagnosis and treatment guidelines. Here, we analyze the current transformation and application of scientific research to global epidemic prevention and control. We described and analyzed current COVID-19 research from the perspectives of international cooperation, interdisciplinary cooperation, and research hotspots using a bibliometric clustering algorithm. Using the diagnosis and treatment guidelines of the WHO and the United States and China as examples, we evaluate the transformation of scientific results from basic research to applications. Scientific research results that have not yet been incorporated into these guidelines are summarized to encourage updates and improvements by applying scientific research to prevention and control. COVID-19 has fostered interdisciplinary cooperative research, and the current results are mainly focused on the origin, epidemiological characteristics, clinical research, and diagnosis and treatment methods for the virus. Due to the ongoing publication of new research, diagnosis and treatment guidelines are constantly improving. However, some research gaps still exist, and some results have not yet been incorporated into the guidelines. The current research is still in the preliminary exploratory stage, and some problems, such as weak international cooperation, unbalanced interdisciplinary cooperation, and the lack of coordination between research and applications, exist. Therefore, countries around the world must improve the International Public Health Emergency Management System and prepare for major public health emergencies in the future.
随着新冠疫情在全球迅速蔓延，研究人员取得了多项重要进展。世界卫生组织（WHO）和疫情严重的国家已制定了诊断和治疗指南。在此，我们分析当前科研在全球疫情防控中的转化与应用情况。我们运用文献计量聚类算法，从国际合作、跨学科合作和研究热点等角度，对当前新冠病毒研究进行了描述与分析。以WHO、美国和中国的诊断和治疗指南为例，我们评估了科研成果从基础研究到应用的转化情况。总结了尚未纳入这些指南的科研成果，以鼓励通过将科研应用于防控工作来进行更新和改进。新冠疫情推动了跨学科合作研究，目前的成果主要集中在病毒的起源、流行病学特征、临床研究以及诊断和治疗方法等方面。由于新研究不断发表，诊断和治疗指南也在不断完善。然而，仍存在一些研究空白，部分成果尚未纳入指南。当前的研究仍处于初步探索阶段，存在一些问题，如国际合作薄弱、跨学科合作不均衡以及研究与应用之间缺乏协调等。因此，世界各国必须完善国际公共卫生应急管理体系，为未来的重大公共卫生事件做好准备。
