Abstract
Introduction: The COVID-19 outbreak has caused a major threat to the international community and raised significant public health concerns. The objective of this work was to describe the scientific communication patterns of Argentina on COVID-19 in the Scopus database. Method: A bibliometric study was carried out. Articles were retrieved according to subject matter using the title, abstract and keywords fields in the Scopus database. Results: 229 documents were retrieved, where 69.9% were citable documents (51.5% originals), 76.4% in English. The scientific leadership of Argentina in the published documents was 44.1%. National collaboration was found in 38% of the documents, in 16.6% collaboration between institutions from different jurisdictions, and 59.8% international collaboration. Conclusions: The productivity and internationalization indicators found in this study represent the response of the Argentine scientific community in the initial phase from the sphere of knowledge production. The results obtained could be interpreted as an effective response to the unprecedented health and social crisis imposed by COVID-19. Universidad Nacional de Córdoba
