Early COVID-19 Psychology Papers: Mostly Anxiety, Mostly China
The study analyzed 223 psychology articles published on COVID-19 up to June 12, 2020, finding a focus on mental health effects, particularly anxiety and depression. Most of these studies were conducted in China. The analysis also highlights the need for research in other areas of psychology and the development of interventions to mitigate the pandemic's psychological impact.
Possible Conflicts of Interest
None identified
Identified Weaknesses
Limited search strategy
The limited search strategy (using keywords only) may have excluded relevant articles published in journals outside the core psychology subject area or using different terminology. This could lead to a biased sample and an incomplete picture of the research landscape.
Limited time frame
The study only analyzed publications up to June 12, 2020, which represents a very early stage of the pandemic. The research landscape has evolved significantly since then, and the findings might not be representative of the current state of knowledge.
Lack of social and intellectual structure analysis
The authors acknowledge that they couldn't analyze collaboration and co-citation networks due to insufficient data. These analyses could have provided valuable insights into the social and intellectual structure of the research field.
Rating Explanation
This is an early bibliometric analysis that provides a snapshot of the initial psychological research on COVID-19. However, the limited timeframe, limited search strategy, and lack of social network analysis limit the generalizability and depth of the findings.
