Keywords:
Bibliometric Analysis, COVID-19 Research, Sri Lanka, Scientific CollaborationAbstract
This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of COVID-19 research conducted in Sri Lanka. The research landscape is explored through the lens of bibliometrics, examining scholarly publications to understand the quantity, quality, and collaborative networks within the scientific community. Utilizing bibliographic databases, we identified a substantial body of literature related to COVID-19 originating from Sri Lanka. The analysis encompasses key bibliometric indicators, such as publication trends, authorship patterns, citation impact, and collaborative networks. Through this examination, we aim to provide insights into the evolution of COVID-19 research in Sri Lanka, highlight influential contributors, and identify potential areas for future exploration. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the scientific response to the pandemic within the Sri Lankan context and offer valuable perspectives for researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders involved in public health and scientific collaboration. This research employs the Web of Science database to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of COVID-19 research in Sri Lanka. Leveraging the rich dataset available on this platform, we systematically examine publication trends, authorship characteristics, citation patterns, and collaborative networks within the context of Sri Lankan contributions to the global discourse on COVID-19. Our analysis covers a range of bibliometric indicators to assess the quantity and impact of research output, identify influential authors and institutions, and explore international collaborations. By utilizing the Web of Science database, this study provides a robust and nuanced understanding of the scientific landscape surrounding COVID-19 in Sri Lanka. The insights gleaned from this research can inform future strategies for scientific collaboration, resource allocation, and policymaking in the ongoing fight against the pandemic.
