Featured article: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): an evidence map of medical literature
Liu et al assessed COVID-19 publications using evidence gap maps and bibliometric analyses to elicit trends of investigations over time and identify gaps in research within the early phase of the pandemic. Their analyses showed value in informing research prioritisation and policy planning both in the current pandemic and similar global health crises.

Aims and scope
BMC Medical Research Methodology is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in methodological approaches to healthcare research. Articles on the methodology of epidemiological research, clinical trials and meta-analysis/systematic review are particularly encouraged, as are empirical studies of the associations between choice of methodology and study outcomes. BMC Medical Research Methodology does not aim to publish articles describing scientific methods or techniques: these should be directed to the BMC journal covering the relevant biomedical subject area.
