The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, which began in December 2019, has not been completely controlled; therefore, COVID-19 has received much attention from countries around the world. Many related clinical studies, such as clinical trials, have been published, but to the knowledge of the authors, there has been no bibliometric analysis of these publications focusing on clinical research studies on COVID-19. Global publications on COVID-19 from January 2020 to December 2020 were extracted from the Web of Science (WOS) collection database. The VOSviewer software and CiteSpace were employed to perform a bibliometric study. In addition, we obtained information on relevant clinical trials from the website http://clinicaltrials.gov. China published most of the articles in this field and had the highest number of citations and H-index. The published most of the articles related to COVID-19. In terms of institutions, Huazhong University of Science and Technology had the most publications, and Wang, JW received the highest number of citations. The diagnosis, prevention, and prognosis of COVID-19 are still the focus of attention at present. The overall analysis of the disease were identified as the emerging topics from the perspectives of epidemiology and statistics. However, finding an effective treatment remains the focus of clinical trials.
2019 年 12 月开始的 2019 冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫情尚未得到完全控制；因此，COVID-19 受到了世界各国的高度关注。许多相关的临床研究，如临床试验，已经发表，但据作者所知，还没有针对 COVID-19 临床研究出版物进行的计量分析。从 Web of Science（WOS）集合数据库中提取了 2020 年 1 月至 2020 年 12 月期间关于 COVID-19 的全球出版物。使用 VOSviewer 软件和 CiteSpace 进行了计量学研究。此外，我们从网站 http://clinicaltrials.gov 上获取了相关临床试验的信息。中国在该领域发表了最多的文章，引用次数和 H 指数最高。美国发表了最多的与 COVID-19 相关的文章。就机构而言，华中科技大学发表的文章最多，而 Wang，JW 的引用次数最高。目前，COVID-19 的诊断、预防和预后仍然是关注的焦点。从流行病学和统计学的角度来看，对疾病的综合分析被确定为新出现的主题。然而，寻找有效的治疗方法仍然是临床试验的重点。
