Recently, an outbreak of a febrile respiratory disease due to the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was appended in the central Chinese city of Wuhan on 31 December 2019. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">Cohen, 2020</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref7">Hui et al., 2020</xref>). The World Health Organization (WHO) officially names the new disease on 11 February 2020 as COVID-19 (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">Cohen & Kupferschmidt, 2020</xref>). WHO chief Tedros said that “CO” stands for “corona”, “VI” for “virus” and “D” for “disease”, while “19” was for the year, as the outbreak was first identified on 31 December 2019 (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">Aljazeera, 2020</xref>).</p> <p>The total number of all document types and articles searched by all coronavirus-related keywords such as “coronavirus”, “coronaviruses”, “anticoronavirus”, “gammacoronaviruses”, “rotacoronavirus”, “betacoronavirus”, “alphacoronavirus”, “deltacoronavirus”, “gammacoronavirus”, “corona virus”, “corona viruses”, “severe acute respiratory syndrome”, “acute respiratory distress syndrome”, “SARS outbreak”, (“SARS” and “2003”), (“SARS” and “virus”), (“SARS” and “viruses”), (“SARS” and “infection”), (“SARS” and “infections”), (“SARS” and “infectionn”), (“SARS” and “respiratory”), (“SARS” and “respirator”), (“SARS” and “respirators”), “Middle East Respiratory Syndrome”, “MERS outbreak”, “Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus”, “Middle East respiratory syndrome coronaviruses”, “MERS-CoV”, “Human Coronavirus Erasmus Medical Center”, “hCoV-EMC”, “coronavirus respiratory illness in Saudi Arabia”, (“MERS” and “2013”), (“MERS” and “virus”), (“MERS” and “viruses”), (“MERS” and “infection”), (“MERS” and “infections”), (“MERS” and “respiratory”), and (“MERS” and “respirators”) in 1) topic (including title, abstract, author keywords, and <italic>KeyWords Plus</italic>) and 2) titles only in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) are displayed in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="gf1">Figure 1</xref> respectively. There are two sharply increasing of number of articles and all documents after 2002 and 2012 that because of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref8">Ksiazek et al., 2003</xref>) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">Cauchemez et al., 2013</xref>) outbreak in 2003 and 2013 respectively. Similar development trends were also found in researches of SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and 2019-novel CoV (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">Bonilla-Aldana et al., 2020</xref>).</p> <p> <fig id="gf1"> <label>Figure 1.</label> <caption> <title>Development trend of coronavirus articles

The six articles with more than 1000 total citations from Web of Science Core Collection since their publication to the end of 2018, were published in 2003 such as articles by Ksiazek et al. (2003), Drosten et al. (2003), Rota et al. (2003), Peiris et al. (2003), and Marra et al. (2003) and by Zaki et al. (2012).

The outbreak of SARS in 2003 and MERS-CoV in 2013 made not only the increasing numbers of publications but also the emerging of high impact publications. Obasely a relationship between the publications and the diseases was found. Therefore, it can be expected that COVID-19 related researches will be focused since December 2019, a large outbreak of a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in China (Riou & Althaus, 2020) and has caused a massive global outbreak (Lai et al., 2020). Thus, numbers of publication will be sharply increased, and even more, high impact publications will also be presented.
