The number of citations quantifies the importance of an
essay within a given study field (Garfield, 1973). The
citation demonstrates the work and results of scholars in
the field of study. A high number of citations indicate the
importance of research in this field. It provides insight into
the impact of research work over a while (Smith, 2008).
However, the citation changes with time, known as the

articles on Infodemic research.
Table 4 shows the top 10 most-cited countries in
Infodemic research between 2004 to 2020. The USA was
the most productive country with 284 documents ranked
first, followed by Italy (71) second and the United
