Repository of Research Publications on COVID-19 and Migration Health

This section features an interactive, open-source, searchable (and downloadable) repository of research publications based on a mapping exercise involving the quantitative assessment of a set of published scientific articles (i.e. bibliometric analysis) on COVID-19 in relation to migrants, migration, and human mobility. 

 

Searching and Navigating the Database

  • Enter keyword/s in the search box on the left-hand sidebar to find publications of relevance to your specific interest.
  • Use the filter options on the left-hand sidebar to search through available publications (i.e., by theme/sub-theme; region/country of coverage; publication type; author/s; year of publication).
  • The map provides an overview of the countries covered in the research publications. Hover over the map to see the number of publications in a specific country or region.

The results of your search can be downloaded as an “XLS” file. Search results will also be listed at the bottom of the page. Selecting the title of a specific publication will lead to a “download” link or a link to the website where the original document is housed.

A mysterious outbreak of atypical pneumonia in late 2019 was traced to a seafood wholesale market in Wuhan of China. Within a few weeks, a novel coronavirus tentatively named as 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was announced by the World Health Organization. We performed bioinformatics analysis on a virus genome from a patient with 2019-nCoV infection and compared it with other related coronavirus genomes. Overall, the genome of 2019-nCoV has 89% nucleotide identity with bat SARS-like-… Read more
