Abstract: Abstract This paper provides a first comprehensive overview of the intellectual foundation of COVID-19-related supply chain management research during the early and mid-pandemic phases. It highlights how supply chain research responded to the initial outbreak and the subsequent efforts to manage the impact of COVID-19. The study integrates bibliometric and text data mining methods to identify key research clusters and themes, including optimized logistics model design, flexible operations, and risk and crisis management. Our findings strongly focus on supply chain resilience, with research addressing industries such as agriculture or healthcare.
