New publication and dataset from the CIRES team at Swinburne University of Technology. Congratulations to Chief Investigator Assoc. Prof. Amir Aryani, Data Engineer Zhuochen Wu, Postdoc Dr Hui Yin, and all their colleagues and co-authors for this important piece of work. Full details below.

“Excited to share our new paper, “Coronavirus research topics, tracking twenty years of research” published in Nature Scientific Data (June 2025). We have developed an AI-assisted pipeline to systematically catalogue and synthesise 800,000+ research articles on coronaviruses from 2002 to 2024. The result is a comprehensive dataset that organises this body of literature into key thematic clusters, from vaccine development to public health strategies and mental health impacts.

This work was supported by funding from Swinburne University of Technology and ARC Training Centre for Information Resilience (CIRES).
