This article examines the scientific production in Mexico on the new coronavirus disease (SARS-CoV-2 or covid-19). We analyze the national articles that appear in Scopus in the period January-October 2020. We focus on five aspects: 1) comparing the national production on covid-19 to that of other countries; 2) examining the relationship between research and development (R&D) spending and the number of articles on covid-19; 3) studying the role of international collaboration on national academic production; 4) identifying the institutions that generate the most articles on the subject; 5) creating a map of terms as of the titles and abstracts of the 565 national publications, with the objective of identifying the research areas where Mexican scientists work.
