Dear Editor, The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which was declared to be a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020, is an important issue worldwide.1 Because of the importance of increasing knowledge about COVID-19, some initiatives have been set up to encourage scientific research in this field in Peru. The National Council for Science, Technology and Technological Innovation (CONCYTEC) generated calls for funding on COVID-19 research. Similarly, the Peruvian Journal of Experimental Medicine and Public Health (Revista Peruana de Medicina Experimental y Salud Pública, RPMESP) called for manuscripts on COVID-19 to be included in its next issues. However, no bibliometric study on Peruvian scientific production relating to COVID-19 has yet been conducted. Therefore, we resolved to perform a bibliometric analysis in this field.
