COVID-19 has had a substantial impact on rheumatology. There were many studies about rheumatology and COVID-19. But there is no study about bibliometric analysis of these studies. This study provides a general overview of studies on rheumatology and COVID-19.
Data were taken from the Web of Science (WoS) website. Analysis and network visualization mapping processes were carried out using VOSviewer. We used the following keywords: "COVID-19" and "Rheumatology"; "Coronavirus" and "Rheumatology"; "2019-nCoV" and "Rheumatology"; "SARS-CoV-2" and "Rheumatology"; "COVID-19" and "Rheumatic Disease"; "Coronavirus" and "Rheumatic Disease"; "2019-nCoV" and "Rheumatic Disease"; "SARS-CoV-2" and "Rheumatic Disease"; "COVID-19" and "Rheumatism"; "Coronavirus" and "Rheumatism"; "2019-nCoV" and "Rheumatism"; and "SARS-CoV-2" and "Rheumatism." A total of 234 publications were analyzed, and the correlations between citation numbers and reference counts, usage counts, and page numbers were analyzed with Spearman correlation coefficients.
The average number of citations per item was 6.03. The studies were cited 1411 times in total, and 1121 times without self-citations. The countries with the highest number of publications on rheumatology and COVID-19 were the USA and England; the countries with the highest number of citations were Italy and the USA, and Jinoos Yazdany was the most cited author. The Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases was the most cited journal, whereas the highest number of articles on rheumatology and COVID-19 were published in Arthritis and Rheumatology.
Bibliometric analysis of rheumatology and COVID-19 can be useful to future studies because it provides a general perspective on the studies. This study provides an insight into the development of publications on rheumatology during the COVID-19 pandemic. Key Points • Covid-19 has substantial impact on rheumatology. • There many studies about rheumatology and COVID-19. But there is no study about bibliometric analysis of these studies. • This study provides a general perspective of the studies about rheumatology and COVID-19. • This study aims to inform the efforts to improve the studies about rheumatology studies during the pandemic process and to analyze the publications about both rheumatology and COVID-19 with bibliometric methods. • Bibliometric analysis about rheumatology and COVID-19 can be useful and helpful tool for future studies.
COVID-19 对风湿病学产生了重大影响。有许多关于风湿病学和 COVID-19 的研究。但是，没有关于这些研究的文献计量分析的研究。本研究提供了风湿病学和 COVID-19 研究的概述。
数据取自 Web of Science（WoS）网站。使用 Vosviewer 进行分析和网络可视化映射处理。我们使用了以下关键字：“COVID-19”和“风湿病学”；“冠状病毒”和“风湿病学”；“2019-nCoV”和“风湿病学”；“SARS-CoV-2”和“风湿病学”；“COVID-19”和“风湿性疾病”；“冠状病毒”和“风湿性疾病”；“2019-nCoV”和“风湿性疾病”；“SARS-CoV-2”和“风湿性疾病”；“COVID-19”和“风湿病”；“冠状病毒”和“风湿病”；“2019-nCoV”和“风湿病”；和“SARS-CoV-2”和“风湿病”。共分析了 234 篇出版物，并使用 Spearman 相关系数分析了引文数量与引用次数、使用次数和页数之间的相关性。
每项研究的平均引文数为 6.03。这些研究共被引用 1411 次，其中 1121 次没有自引。发表风湿病学和 COVID-19 研究最多的国家是美国和英国；引文最多的国家是意大利和美国，被引最多的作者是 Jinoos Yazdany。被引最多的期刊是《风湿病年鉴》，而发表风湿病学和 COVID-19 文章最多的期刊是《关节炎与风湿病》。
对风湿病学和 COVID-19 的文献计量分析对未来的研究可能有用，因为它提供了对这些研究的总体看法。本研究提供了 COVID-19 大流行期间风湿病学出版物发展的深入了解。
