This page explores Swedish research related to COVID-19 over five years (May 2020–May 2025). The manually curated dataset, which is openly available in the SciLifeLab Data Repository, comprises publications about SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 involving at least one author affiliated with a Swedish research institute or organisation. Each publication was tagged according to multiple factors, including subject (for example, post-COVID condition and vaccine research), publication type (for example, preprint, review, and article), and the involvement of particular funders (for example, the Swedish Research Council, Vetenskapsrådet).

Between May 2020 and May 2023, the list was compiled entirely manually by searching publication databases. From May 2023, the Europe PMC REST API was used to identify publications.

To see recent Swedish publications on multiple topics, please refer to the publications page.

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 an article was uploaded to a preprint server or the date it was published in a journal. Where only a publication month 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.
