The growth of COVID-19 scientific literature: A forecast analysis of different daily time series in specific settings Torres Salinas, Daniel Robinson García, Nicolás van Schalkwyk, François F. Nane, Gabriela Castillo-Valdivieso, Pedro bibliometrics Covid-19 We present a forecasting analysis on the growth of scientific literature related to COVID-19 expected for 2021. Considering the paramount scientific and financial efforts made by the research community to find solutions to end the COVID-19 pandemic, an unprecedented volume of scientific outputs is being produced. This questions the capacity of scientists, politicians and citizens to maintain infrastructure, digest content and take scientifically informed decisions. A crucial aspect is to make predictions to prepare for such a large corpus of scientific literature. Here we base our predictions on the ARIMA model and use two different data sources: the Dimensions and World Health Organization COVID-19 databases. These two sources have the particularity of including in the metadata information the date in which papers were indexed. We present global predictions, plus predictions in three specific settings: type of access (Open Access), NLM source (PubMed and PMC), and domain-specific repository (SSRN and MedRxiv). We conclude by discussing our findings. 2021-07-14T06:48:32Z 2021-07-14T06:48:32Z 2021-07-13 info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject http://hdl.handle.net/10481/69677 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess ISSI
