People have been kept closed for several days and months at homes due to the fear of life risks. Many industries, especially the food, tourism and transportation, and therefore financial markets, have been adversely affected by these conditions. The resulting level of risk has caused investors to experience significant losses in a short time. At the first stage, the policies and the processes followed differed according to the dynamics of the country, and the search for a common solution was delayed. This situation has created another threat point for the global economy. It is thought that the global economy and countries, which became rapidly integrated, especially in the 1990s, can only get out of this bottleneck together so that higher institutions can drive strategies and policies in this direction. All these conditions have caused the search for solutions to show an increasing trend in line with the dynamics of COVID-19, not only in medicine but also in academic studies carried out in every research field. Therefore, many studies have found a place in the literature on business and economics in a short time. In this context, this study aims to reveal the portfolio of research associated with business and economics and the patterns within this portfolio. The research, shaped within the framework of findings obtained through the bibliometric data that the Web of Science database provided, presents the topics covered in the relevant research field, prominent institutions, authors, and journal profiles during the COVID- 19 pandemic with an analytical approach and opens the emerging grant picture for discussion.Keywords: Business, Economics, Literature, Bibliometrics, Covid-19 A Bibliometric Overview of Business and Economics Literature in theShadow of the Covid-19 PandemicDoç.
