The nationality was based on the corresponding author’s department. The 10 countries with the most publications are shown. To calculate the number of publications per 100,000 inhabitants, the number of publications was divided by the respective population of 2020, which was taken from a report of the United Nations (UN) (https://population.un.org/wpp/Download/Standard/Population/). Contrary to bibliometrics, the UN only considered the United Kingdom (UK). Thus, the population of England in the year 2020 was taken from UK's Office for National Statistics (https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationestimates/bulletins/annualmidyearpopulationestimates/mid2020).
