Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has imposed great medical and economic burdens on human society, and nanotechnology is a promising technique for managing the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. To drive further studies on anti-COVID-19 nanotechnology, this paper provides an analysis, from a bibliometric perspective, of the intersection of nanotechnology and SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19.
We analyzed the 2585 publications on nanotechnology and SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 included in the Web of Science Core Collection from January 2019 to March 2022 to determine the bibliometric landscape. The basic bibliometric characteristics are summarized in this article.
Our bibliometric analysis revealed that the intersection between nanotechnology and SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 is a cutting-edge field in the science community and that the related studies were multidisciplinary in nature. Studies on the structural basis of SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-2 detection assays, and mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 provided the development foundation for this field.
The current research focuses are the development of nanomaterial-based vaccines and SARS-CoV-2 detection methods, and the design of nanomedicines carrying SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors is a relatively burgeoning frontier. In summary, this bibliometric analysis of the intersection of nanotechnology and SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 highlights the current research focuses of this field to inspire future studies on anti-COVID-19 nanotechnologies.
2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）感染引起，给人类社会带来了巨大的医疗和经济负担，而纳米技术是应对当前COVID-19大流行的一项有前景的技术。为推动对抗COVID-19纳米技术的进一步研究，本文从文献计量学角度对纳米技术与SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19的交叉领域进行了分析。
我们分析了2019年1月至2022年3月Web of Science核心合集中收录的2585篇关于纳米技术与SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19的出版物，以确定文献计量学概况。本文总结了基本的文献计量学特征。
我们的文献计量学分析表明，纳米技术与SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19的交叉领域是科学界的一个前沿领域，相关研究本质上是多学科的。对SARS-CoV-2的结构基础、SARS-CoV-2检测方法以及抗COVID-19 mRNA疫苗的研究为该领域奠定了发展基础。
当前的研究重点是基于纳米材料的疫苗和SARS-CoV-2检测方法的开发，而携带SARS-CoV-2抑制剂的纳米药物设计是一个相对新兴的前沿领域。总之，这项对纳米技术与SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19交叉领域的文献计量学分析突出了该领域当前的研究重点，以启发未来对抗COVID-19纳米技术的研究。
