Swedish COVID-19 publications over 5 years

This page explores Swedish research related to COVID-19 over 5 years (May 2020 - May 2025). The manually curated dataset (which is openly available on the SciLifeLab Data Repository) comprises publications about SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 involving at least one author affiliated with a Swedish research institute/organisation. Each publication was tagged according to multiple factors, including subject (e.g. post-covid condition, vaccine research), type of publication (e.g. preprint, review, article), and the involvement of particular funders (e.g. the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet)). Between May 2020 and May 2023, the list was compiled entirely manually by searching all publications databases. From May 2023, the Europe PMC REST API was used to identify publications. The scripts used to do this are openly available on GitHub and can be reused for work with other pathogens.

Number of publications

This graph displays the number of peer-reviewed articles and preprints published each month, as well as the cumulative daily total of publications. Publication date reflects either the date that the articles were uploaded to preprint servers or the date that the article was published in a journal. Where only a month of publication is provided, rather than a specific date, the date is assigned as the first day of the month. This can cause the appearance of a relatively sharp increase at the start of each month.
