Objective: The novel coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak rapidly evolved intopandemic. Global research efforts focus on this topic and with thecollaboration of the scientific journals publication industry produced morethan 16,000 related published articles in PubMed within five months from theonset of the outbreak. Herein, a comparison of the COVID-19 citations in PubMedand Web of Science was performed with SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, Ebola, Zika, avianand swine influenza epidemics. Methods: The citations were searched andcollected using the disease terms and the date of publication restriction. Thetotal number of PubMed citations and the HIV associated papers during the samechronological periods were examined in parallel. The journal category andcountry information of the publications were gathered from Web of Science. Thecollected data were statistically analyzed and compared. Results: Significantcorrelations were found between COVID-19 and MERS (CC=0.988; p=0.003; q=0.006),Ebola (CC=0.987; p=0.003; q=0.011), and SARS (CC=0.964; p=0.015; q=0.028)epidemics five-month pick of novel citations in PubMed. However, COVID-19publications were accumulated earlier and in larger numbers than any other 21stcentury major communicable disease outbreak. Conclusion: The acceleration andthe total number of COVID-19 publications represent an unprecedented landmarkevent in the medical library history. The immediate adoption of the fast-trackpeer-reviewing and publishing as well as the open access publication policiesby the journal publishers are significant contributors to this bibliographicphenomenon.
