Abstract

This scientometric analysis examines the collaboration patterns in over 166,000 COVID-19 research articles. The study compares COVID-19 research teams to non-COVID-19 counterparts before and during the pandemic, analyzing collaboration using the Collaboration Index (CI), author multidisciplinarity, and team multidisciplinarity. Results indicate that COVID-19 research teams were smaller but more diverse than non-COVID-19 teams. The pandemic significantly increased multidisciplinarity across most fields. The paper also presents methodologies for visualizing multidisciplinary collaboration.
