Resumo
Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão sistemática de artigos que avaliaram a produção científica sobre SARS-CoV-2 por meio de análises bibliométricas. Métodos: Foram utilizados os bancos de dados Scopus, Web of Science e Google Scholar. Após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão pré-estabelecidos, 30 artigos foram incluídos. Resultados. A quantidade total de artigos encontrados nos estudos bibliométricos sobre SARS-CoV-2 apresentou uma grande variação de 153 a 21.395 artigos e uma média igual a 4.279 (± 5.510). Um total de 17 países publicaram no escopo deste estudo, mas apenas seis publicaram mais de um artigo, com destaque para autores de instituições chinesas (17%). Scopus foi o banco de dados mais utilizado nos estudos bibliométricos (50%, n = 15). Os artigos usaram 72 palavras-chave diferentes com destaque para: COVID-19 (15%), SARS-CoV-2 (12%) e 2019-nCoV (9%).Conclusão. Estamos diante de um cenário sem precedentes de informações acerca do SARS-CoV-2 e isso tem exigido um esforço científico coletivo que se reflete na publicação diária de centenas de estudos (artigos, pré-impressões, guias clínicos, protocolos). Os métodos bibliométricos são sendo cada vez mais utilizados pela comunidade científica para sistematizar essas informações. Assim sendo, a revisão sistemática realizada nesse estudo permitiu fornecer uma visão geral da literatura bibliométrica sobre o vírus SARS-CoV-2.
