自从新冠病毒爆发以来，它给世界各个领域的发展带来了巨大的影响。

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, it has brought great influence to the development of various fields in the world.

科学研究也是其中之一。

Scientific research is also one of them.

最近，西北大学王大顺教授的团队就疫情对研究人员工作时间、新项目启动率、不同学科项目的影响、合作/协作数量等诸多方面的影响进行了一系列分析和调查。

Recently, Professor Wang Dashun's team from Northwestern University has made a series of analysis and investigation on the impact of the epidemic on the working hours of researchers, the launch rate of new projects, the impact of projects in different disciplines, the number of cooperation / collaborations and many other directions.

研究结果发表在《自然》子期刊上：

The research results are published in the nature sub Journal:

同时，在不同的科学研究群体中，女性科学家或有幼儿的科学家受到的影响最大。

At the same time, among different scientific research groups, female scientists or scientists with young children are the most affected.

最后，该文件指出：

Finally, the paper states:

科学研究的影响在疫情第二年有所恢复。

The impact of scientific research recovered to a certain extent in the second year of the epidemic.

然而，疫情对科学研究的影响远未结束，一些长期影响甚至尚未显现。

However, the impact of the epidemic on scientific research is far from over, and some long-term effects have not even appeared.

新的科研项目减少了36%

New scientific research projects decreased by 36%

该流行病对科学研究领域最直观的影响是科学研究时间的减少。

The most intuitive impact of the epidemic on the scientific research field is the decline of scientific research time.

王大顺的团队对6982名教师或研究人员进行了随机抽样调查。

Wang Dashun's team conducted a random sampling survey of 6982 teachers or researchers.

结果显示，2020年4月，科学家每周平均工作时间比疫情前减少了7.1小时：

The results show that in April 2020, the average working hours of scientists per week decreased by 7.1 hours compared with that before the epidemic:

这是一个更为乐观的变化，表明疫情爆发两年后，大多数科学家已经或正在重返工作岗位。

This is a more optimistic change, indicating that two years after the epidemic, most scientists have or are returning to work.

然而，与研究时间相比，新的科研项目数量显著减少。

However, compared with the research time, the number of new scientific research projects has decreased significantly.

王大顺的团队根据公布的数据集维度进行了分析，包括截至2021年初发表的文章和预印本。

Wang Dashun's team conducted an analysis based on the published data set dimensions, including articles and preprints published as of early 2021.

分析结果显示，2019年，9%的科学家没有启动科研项目，但到2020年，这一数字将变为27%，是2019年的三倍：

The analysis results show that in 2019, 9% of scientists did not start scientific research projects, but by 2020, this figure will become 27%, three times that of 2019:

此外，当我们将2020年的非新冠病毒-19合作项目作为一个整体来看时，我们可以看到，在今年下半年，合著者数量的减少越来越明显：

In addition, when we look at the non covid-19 cooperation projects in 2020 as a whole, we can see that the decrease in the number of co authors is becoming more and more obvious in the second half of the year:
