Global cooperation in the study of new coronavirus is extensive and widespread

new coronavirus is a common challenge facing all mankind, in the study of the virus, scientists around the world work closely together to tackle the problem, in the virus traceability, epidemic trend prediction and drug research and development has made some progress. The results of scientific research personnel to scientific and technological literature as a carrier, with the global counterparts to communicate and share.
As of May 23, 2020, the Web of Science core collection contains and indexes more than 4,500 relevant documents published by researchers around the world, and quantitative analysis has found that the global cooperation in new coronavirus research is extensive and widespread.indexed the key words related to the new coronavirus and found that of the papers from 121 countries and regions around the world, China (including Hong Kong and Macao, excluding
) published the largest number of papers in the United States, and the number of papers of the two is similar;
From the research institutions, a total of more than 4,600 institutions participated in the new coronavirus-related research, including Wuhan, China, Huazhong University of Science and Technology published 115 papers, the number of papers ranked first among all institutions;close cooperation and sharing of data in the face of global public health issues. Many of the more than 4,500 new coronavirus-related papers have been jointly published by researchers from many countries.
Taking China, the United States and the United Kingdom, which produced the most relevant papers, as an example, the most important partners in the United States were Chinese mainland, which co-published 149 papers, accounting for 14.6% of the total number of papers published, followed by 105 in the United Kingdom (10.3%) and 81 in Italy Chinese mainland (7.9%); (14.7 per cent), followed by the UK with 72 (7.1 per cent) and Australia with 36 (3.5 per cent), the UK's main partner was the US, with 105 papers (21 per cent), followed by Chinese mainland 72 (14.4 per cent) and Italy with 61 (12.2 per cent).Scientists' research on the new coronavirus covers all aspects, from the distribution of high-frequency theme words in the paper, can be divided into three main clusters - respectively, related to the clinical treatment and research of diseases, the socio-economic impact of diseases and medical workers-related, disease conditions and related drug/vaccine research.
In these areas, the authors of the papers in the United States and the United Kingdom are more concerned with the socio-economic impact of the outbreak and medical work in all three major topics, while China's focus is much different, with a greater focus on topics related to clinical treatment.
addition, both China and the United States have focused on virus-related studies (e.g., hedgehog glycoproteins, bind binding domains, etc.), while the United Kingdom has less attention to this topic than China and the United States.
