In this paper we seek to examine the co-authoring pattern of a select group of researchers that are affiliated with a specific country. By way of making use of standard bibliometric analysis, we explore the publication evolution of all COVID-19-related peer reviewed papers that have been (co)-authored by researchers that are affiliated with Greek institutions. The aim is to identify its advancement over time, the institutions involved and the countries with which the co-authors are affiliated with. The timeframe of the study spans from the moment that WHO Director-General declared the novel coronavirus outbreak a public health emergency of international concern (WHO, 2020.

Accessed on 10 May 2020., Archived: WHO timeline-covid-19), January 2020, to October 2020. Findings indicate that there is a steady increase in the number of publications as well as the number of scientific collaborations over time. At a cross-country level, results suggest that the affiliated institutional sectors such as the Higher Education Sector (HES) and the Government Sector (GOV) contributed the most in terms of scientific output. On an international scale, the evolution of the scientific collaboration is imprinted and distributed as a chain of affiliations that linked nations together. Such chains are represented as clusters of countries, in which the scientific connections between different countries can be visualised. It can be reasoned that a significant amount of publications (20%) is affiliated with countries having "traditionally" major scientific impact on the field of Medicine.

在本文中，我们试图研究一组与特定国家相关联的研究人员的共同署名模式。通过使用标准文献计量分析方法，我们探索了所有由希腊机构的研究人员共同撰写的与新冠疫情相关的同行评审论文的发表演变情况。目的是确定其随时间的进展、涉及的机构以及共同作者所属的国家。研究的时间范围从世界卫生组织总干事宣布新型冠状病毒爆发为国际关注的突发公共卫生事件之时（世界卫生组织，2020年。存档：世界卫生组织新冠疫情时间线。取自存档：世界卫生组织新冠疫情时间线。https://www.who.int/news/item/27-04-2020-who-timeline---covid-19。于2020年5月10日访问。，存档：世界卫生组织新冠疫情时间线），即2020年1月，至2020年10月。研究结果表明，随着时间的推移，出版物数量和科学合作数量都在稳步增加。在跨国层面上，结果表明，高等教育部门（HES）和政府部门（GOV）等附属机构部门在科学产出方面贡献最大。在国际范围内，科学合作的演变以一系列将各国联系在一起的附属关系链的形式呈现并分布。这些链条以国家集群的形式呈现，不同国家之间的科学联系可以可视化。可以推断，相当数量（20%）的出版物与在医学领域具有“传统”重大科学影响力的国家有关。
