Abstract
Background: Scientometrics studies are one of the most efficient methods of quantitative evaluation of the scientific outputs of valuable information and citation databases for understanding and observing the status of scientific publications in different subject areas The main aim of this article was to study the 50 years of Coronavirus scientific publications in the world Materials & Methods: This applied research was carried out using scientometrics methods and an analytical approach The statistical population of this article includes 5128 Coronavirus subject area documents indexed on the WoS from 1970 to 2019 The keywords were extracted from MeSH and analyzed using Excel 2016 Results: Data analysis showed that the highest science production was in 2005, and the highest citation number was in 2019 “Enjuanes L ” is the most proliferated author, the United States, the most productive country, and the University of Hong Kong, the top organization in Coronavirus in the last half-century Conclusion: The results showed, there is a direct relationship between the Coronavirus outbreaks and the amount of Scientific Publications in this area in the World The quality of the researchers' productions in this area can be deliberated by scientific methods and researchers' self-citation has affected their h-index For health care researchers, policymakers, and planners, it is necessary to be aware of the results of scientific studies of strategic and vital research areas, such as Coronavirus, to identify more appropriate therapeutic goals, make better decisions, and provide more effective solutions in the shortest time [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Copyright of Iranian Journal of Medical Microbiology is the property of Iranian Society of Microbiology and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission However, users may print, download, or email articles for individual use This abstract may be abridged No warranty is given about the accuracy of the copy Users should refer to the original published version of the material for the full abstract (Copyright applies to all Abstracts )

Summary
Coronavirus is a common disease between humans and animals (zoonosis) [1, 2], which is enveloped, nonsegmented, and has positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus [3]. The virus causes severe respiratory and intestinal infections in animals and humans [14] and subsequently leads to death [15]. With the increase of scientific publications, the importance of observing such studies has become more. Scientometrics studies are one of the most efficient methods of quantitative evaluation of the scientific outputs of valuable information and citation databases for understanding and observing the status of scientific publications in different subject areas. The main aim of this article was to study the 50 years of Coronavirus scientific publications in the world
