全球冠状病毒研究态势分析及其启示

2019年12月发生于中国武汉的不明原因肺炎最终被确定是一种新型冠状病毒感染所致,后者暂被命名为2019新型冠状病毒(2019-nCoV)。冠状病毒是一个大型病毒家族,可诱发禽类、哺乳动物和人类的诸多疾病,包括2003年严重急性呼吸综合征(severe acute respiratory syndrome,SARS)、2012年中东呼吸综合征(Middle East respiratory syndrome,MERS)等。近20年来,全球科学家已开展了一系列冠状病毒相关的传播机制及致病机制等各方面研究。本文基于文献计量学、引文分析和知识图谱等方法,分析了全球冠状病毒研究的现状和趋势,梳理了冠状病毒相关研究的知识脉络,为当下及今后冠状病毒所致疾病的防控提供参考。

Analysis of the global coronavirus related research status and its enlightenment for the present and future

The pneumonia of unknown origin occurred in Wuhan in December 2019 was finally confirmed to be a novel coronavirus infection, provisionally designated as 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause diseases in mammals, birds, and humans, including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), etc. In the past two decades, global researches have been accomplished to identify the mechanisms how coronaviruses transmitted between species from animals to humans, as well as the pathologic mechanisms. In this paper, we applied the bibliometric methods, citation analysis, and knowledge mapping methods, to explore the research status and trends in coronavirus, and to reveal the conceptual knowledge venation in coronavirus literatures, in oder to provide references for future coronavirus research.
