睡美人和冠状病毒文献的时间演变
Sleeping beauties and temporal evolution of the coronavirus literature
摘要:
分析了过去30年中冠状病毒文献(N= 43,769)的时间演变及其SARS-CoV-2文章(N= 27,460)和综述和荟萃分析研究(N= 1,027)的子域。(i)对SARS-CoV-2文献子集的分析确定了2020年之前发表的研究,这些研究现已被证明对开发与SARS-CoV-2相关的各种出版物群具有重要意义。特别是,2020年觉醒的冠状病毒文献中的所谓睡美人被确定,即,此前发表的关于该文献的研究,多年来一直相对不受关注,但在2020年SARS-CoV-2爆发后突然受到关注。(ii)2020年SARS-CoV-2文章的子集在书目上与2020年之前发表的其余文献相距甚远。SARS-CoV-2部分的单个文章,在两个文章主体之间起桥梁作用(即,2020年之前和之后)。(iii)此外,与2020年之前发表的文章集群相比,2020年SARS-CoV-2集群内的书目耦合程度要差得多。这可以部分解释为,与SARS-CoV-2疾病之前发表的冠状病毒文献相比,与SARS-CoV-2相关的研究主题更加多样。这项工作表明,在和平时期或疾病爆发之前进行的学术努力如何突然在预防和减轻新疾病造成的健康灾难方面发挥关键作用。
英文摘要:
Temporal evolution of the coronavirus literature over the last thirty years (N=43,769) is analyzed along with its subdomain of SARS-CoV-2 articles (N=27,460) and the subdomain of reviews and meta-analytic studies (N=1,027). (i) The analyses on the subset of SARS-CoV-2 literature identified studies published prior to 2020 that have now proven highly instrumental in the development of various clusters of publications linked to SARS-CoV-2. In particular, the so-called sleeping beauties of the coronavirus literature with an awakening in 2020 were identified, i.e., previously published studies of this literature that had remained relatively unnoticed for several years but gained sudden traction in 2020 in the wake of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. (ii) The subset of 2020 SARS-CoV-2 articles is bibliographically distant from the rest of this literature published prior to 2020. Individual articles of the SARS-CoV-2 segment with a bridging role between the two bodies of articles (i.e., before and after 2020) are identifiable. (iii) Furthermore, the degree of bibliographic coupling within the 2020 SARS-CoV-2 cluster is much poorer compared to the cluster of articles published prior to 2020. This could, in part, be explained by the higher diversity of topics that are studied in relation to SARS-CoV-2 compared to the literature of coronaviruses published prior to the SARS-CoV-2 disease. This work demonstrates how scholarly efforts undertaken during peace time or prior to a disease outbreak could suddenly play a critical role in prevention and mitigation of health disasters caused by new diseases.
