Abstract :With the coronavirus epidemic (COVID-19) that emerged in 2019, many studies have been conducted around the world. It is very important to review these studies. The purpose of this research is to evaluate COVID-19 studies produced in Turkey. To conduct a descriptive bibliometric study to determine the trends in research. In this regard, publications in Web of Science database were used. Frequency analysis and bibliometric analysis of the published articles were performed. Worldwide publication trends were compared with Turkish results. Worldwide, 3.6% of the articles on COVID-19 originate from Turkey. Turkey is among the 10 countries that produce the most articles in the world. Within the international cooperation, most of the joint work has been done with the USA (5.47%). Contrary to the world, the categories of pediatrics, psychiatry, pharmacology, pharmacy and nursing have come to the fore in COVID-19 studies in Turkey. The most common keywords in the studies are as follows: \\\"covid-19\\\", \\\"sars-cov 2\\\", \\\"pandemic\\\", \\\"anxiety\\\", \\\"coronavirus\\\", \\\"mortality\\\", \\\"turkey\\\", \\\"depression\\\", \\\"children\\\", \\\"pneumonia\\\". \\\"pneumonia\\\". It has been observed that research on COVID-19 has started to decrease worldwide. Although Turkey is one of the countries that publishes the most articles on the subject in the world, it is very important to study the long-term effects of the epidemic both worldwide and in the country. It is believed that the research results will help to determine the problems to be solved in the future, research priorities and collaborations regarding the long-term effects of COVID-19.
