Abstract

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers around the world have tried to overcome diseases through numerous studies. This study aims to analyze the trend of Covid19 research and publication through database search. The method searched the period from 2019 to 2022 based on the title, abstract, and author keywords for COVID-19-related keywords based on SCIE and SSCI of Web of Science, followed by Year, Document Type, Category, Journal, Countries/Regions, Research Areas, and Funding Agencies, extracted papers with the highest number of citations, and confirmed the research status. The largest number of publications was published in 2020, with Document Types in order of Article and Letter, and Public Environmental Occupational Health occupying the largest portion of the Web of Science Category. It was confirmed that the United States and China had the highest number of studies. Human research on COVID-19 is expected to continue, and it is determined that further research is necessary by expanding other DBs other than Web of Science to standardize research trends.
