Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 a global pandemic on 11 March 2020. The disease has negatively affected health systems and economies worldwide, and has negatively affected life expectancies and quality of life, especially in our most vulnerable populations. Evidence suggests that one in five individuals globally could be at increased risk of severe COVID-19, due to underlying health conditions. The direct and indirect impact of COVID-19 on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is still emerging. This Special Issue focuses on the impact of COVID-19 on NCDs diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and management in the tropics. We are inviting papers which address the following topics:

  • Original articles focusing on associations between COVID-19 and NCDs;
  • Reviews on the associations between COVID-19 and NCDs (systematic and narrative reviews).

This bibliometric analysis aims to analyze the global scientific production of COVID-19 and vaccines. First, a search for scientific articles was performed using the advanced query in the Web of Science™ database, more precisely in its core collection, on 18 February 2023. Data from 7754 articles were analyzed using the Bibliometrix R package and the Biblioshiny application. The evaluated articles were published mainly in 2022 (60%). The scientific journals that published the most about COVID-19 and vaccines were “Vaccines”, “Vaccine” and “Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics”. The University of Oxford was the most productive institution, with the authors of the articles mainly originating from the United States, China and the United Kingdom. The United States, despite having carried out the most significant number of collaborations, published mainly with local researchers. The 15 most cited articles and the KeyWords Plus™ evidenced the focus of the published articles on the safety and efficacy of vaccines against COVID-19, as well as on the evaluation of vaccine acceptance, more specifically on vaccine hesitancy. Research funding came primarily from US government agencies. Full article
