Resumo: The race to publish results during the outbreak of the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has highlighted the relevance of sharing data and research results more quickly and openly than the current scientific communication system, as well as the role of social media in this context. This paper aims to analyze the impact of open access on the production and dissemination of knowledge about COVID-19 in traditional scientific communication and on the social web. We analyzed 6,631 papers and reviews of PubMed and Scopus databases, published between January and April 2020, through bibliometric and altmetric indicators. The results showed that the volume of scientific open access publications related to COVID-19 increased by an average monthly rate of 166% in the period analyzed. The countries with the highest number of publications are those that had the most registered cases of COVID-19. In general, the scientific open access publications had greater attention from social media and more intense cooperation networks than compared to non-open access publications. The combination of bibliometric and altmetric indicators allowed us not only to characterize the evolution and diffusion of scientific production on COVID-19 but also to understand the relationship between the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus and the interaction of society around research products. Our findings reinforce the importance of open access practices to create and strengthen research collaboration networks and to stimulate publications on emerging themes of global interest

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o impacto do acesso aberto (open access) na produção e difusão do conhecimento sobre a COVID-19 nos meios tradicionais de comunicação científica e na web social. Via indicadores bibliométricos e altmétricos, analisamos um conjunto de 6.631 artigos e revisões das bases PubMed e Scopus, publicados entre janeiro e abril de 2020. Os resultados evidenciaram que o volume das publicações científicas relacionadas à COVID-19 aumentou a uma taxa média mensal de 166% no período analisado, com destaque às publicações na modalidade acesso aberto. Os países com maior número de publicações são aqueles que tiveram mais casos registrados da COVID-19. No geral, observou-se maior atenção da mídia social e redes de cooperação mais intensas nas publicações científicas de acesso aberto se comparadas às de acesso restrito. Ao combinar indicadores bibliométricos e altmétricos, o artigo permitiu não somente caracterizar a evolução e difusão da produção científica sobre a COVID-19, mas compreender a relação entre a pandemia provocada pelo novo coronavírus e a interação da sociedade em torno dos produtos de pesquisa. Nossos resultados reforçam a importância de se implementar práticas de acesso aberto para criar e/ou fortalecer redes de colaboração de pesquisa e estimular publicações sobre temas emergentes e de interesse mundialInstituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia (Ibict)2020-12-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revista.ibict.br/liinc/article/view/529610.18617/liinc.v16i2.5296Liinc em Revista; Vol. 16 No. 2 (2020): Informational Perspectives and Challenges in Times of the Covid-19 Pandemic; e5296Liinc em Revista; Vol. 16 Núm. 2 (2020): Perspectivas y desafíos de la información en tiempos de la Pandemia de Covid-19; e5296Liinc em Revista; v. 16 n. 2 (2020): Perspectivas e desafios informacionais em tempos da pandemia da Covid-19; e52961808-3536reponame:Liinc em Revistainstname:Instituto Brasileiro de Informação Ciência e Tecnologia (IBICT)instacron:IBICTporhttp://revista.ibict.br/liinc/article/view/5296/5101Todos os direitos (c) 2020 Ana Carolina Spatti, Cristina Abreu Sampaio Leme Monaco, Tatiana Bermúdez-Rodríguez, Vinicius Muraro da Silvahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBermúdez-Rodríguez, TatianaMuraro da Silva, Vinicius Spatti, Ana CarolinaAbreu Sampaio Leme Monaco, Cristina2021-05-27T11:34:14Zoai:ojs.revista.ibict.br:article/5296Revistahttp://revista.ibict.br/liincPUBhttp://revista.ibict.br/liinc/oai1808-35361808-3536opendoar:null2021-05-27 11:34:14.992Liinc em Revista - Instituto Brasileiro de Informação Ciência e Tecnologia (IBICT)false
