Swedish publications on COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 between May 2020 and May 2025

This page explores Swedish research related to COVID-19 over 5 years (May 2020 - May 2025). The manually curated dataset 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 after identifying articles using alerts from multiple resources, e.g. PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, EuropePMC, MedRxiv, BioRxiv, Research square). From May 2023, the Europe PMC REST API was used to identify publications. The scripts used to do this are openly available on GitHub (https://github.com/ScilifelabDataCentre/pathogens-portal-scripts/tree/main/All_publicationsOpens in a new tab) and can be reused for work with other pathogens. Visualisations based on this dataset, showing e.g. the number of publications over time and keywords according to funders involved in the research, are available on the Swedish Pathogens Portal (https://www.pathogens.se/dashboards/covid_publicationsOpens in a new tab) . To see recent Swedish publications related to multiple infectious disease and pandemic preparedness topics, please visit the Swedish Pathogens Portal's publications page (https://www.pathogens.se/publicationsOpens in a new tab) . Please note that, because the dataset is manually curated, some records may be missing or incomplete.
