SHARE OF INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATION ON COVID-19 MEDICAL RESEARCH PDF Stampa E-mail

The pandemic triggered an unprecedented mobilisation of the scientific community. Around 75000 scientific publications on COVID-19 were published between Jan. and Nov. 2020. A lot of international scientific co-operation on COVID-19 has been initiated by researchers themselves and has built on existing ties. For example, research links between China and OECD countries have grown strongly in recent years, and this is reflected in patterns of COVID-19 co-publication (Figure). The US accounts for the largest share (26716 publications), followed by China (9000), UK (8200) and Italy (7500). (F. OECD 12.01.21)
