Impact statement: A good amount of research has evolved in just three years on COVID-19 transmission, mortality, vaccination, and some socioeconomic studies. A few bibliometric reviews have already been performed in the literature, especially on the broad theme of COVID-19, without any particular area, such as transmission, mortality, or vaccination. This paper fills this gap by conducting a bibliometric review of COVID-19 transmission, the first of its kind. The main aim of this study is to conduct a bibliometric review of the literature on COVID-19 transmission dynamics. We have conducted a bibliometric analysis using descriptive and network analysis methods to review the literature in this area using RStudio, OpenRefine, VOSviewer, and Tableau. We reviewed 1103 articles published in 2020–2022. The result identified the top authors, disciplines, research patterns, and hotspots, and provided clear directions for classifying research topics in this area. New research areas are rapidly emerging in this field, which require constant monitoring by researchers to combat this global epidemic.
