Discovering associations in COVID-19 related research papers
share
A COVID-19 pandemic has already proven itself to be a global challenge. It proves how vulnerable humanity can be.

On the basis of these methods, the purpose of our study was to show how researchers have responded in similar epidemic/pandemic situations throughout history.
