Food Security, Vitamins, Diets and Nutrition in the Wake of COVID-19

A Bibliometric Analysis on Global Aspects

Abstract

It is becoming increasingly popular to use nutrition therapy as a means of protecting one's overall health and immunity from the newly discovered coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). For better comprehension of the function of nutrition in the treatment of COVID-19, a bibliometric assessment of the research that was published in the Scopus database between 2019 and 2021 has been undertaken in this study. Finding 14,708 publications, the results were analyzed by comparing them to the others. Among the findings of this study is a list of the countries where the research was conducted; documents used to disseminate the research, topics covered by those documents, authors, and affiliations of those authors who are at the top in their fields of study; each publication's author count; and the top funding agencies. The study uses a word cloud to analyze the content of the most frequently referenced publications to gain insight into the quality of the research published. Research on nutritional therapy for the treatment of COVID-19 symptoms is now trending in this direction, and potential future hot spots are suggested by this analysis.
