Online published on 20 November, 2020. Abstract In this study we have considered the top 100 research papers on Covid-19 published across the globe based on their citations data during January-June 2020. Further analysis made to identify the countries of origin, journal wise distribution, co-author cluster, keyword analysis and co-citation map to understand and to establish the links among them. The result revealed that the most publishing author Zhang I (7) has link strength of 96 received 2657 citations whereas Wang y has published 6 papers but his link strength of 100 is highest in the network. The top 5 authors with the maximum contribution and largest total link strength were Zhang I (TP=7, TC=2657, TLS=96), Wang W(TP=7, TC=2490, TLS=77), Drosten C(TP=6, TC=1477, TLS=96), Wang y (TP=6, TC=2039, TLS=100) and Liu y (TP=5, TC=2495, TLS=72. It has been also found that association between the keywords in 2,3 & 4 clusters compared with the cluster-1 depicting the origin and nature of the epidemic and humans are the most affected by Covid-19 disease. Study revealed that China has contributed maximum publications (65) followed by USA (25) and UK (13) and scientific publications originating from China have received highest citations (21542).
