The spread of COVID-19 has created a fundamental need for coordinated mechanisms responding to outbreaks in different sectors. One of the main sectors relates to information supply and demand in the middle of this pandemic in the digital environment. It could be called an infodemiology. It is known as a promising approach to solving the challenge in the present age. At this level, the purpose of this article is to investigate the COVID-19 related search process by field research. Data were retrieved from Google Trends in Middle Eastern countries alongside scientific research output of Middle Eastern scientists towards COVID-19 in Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed. Daily COVID-19 cases and deaths were retrieved from the World Health Organization. We searched for descriptive statistical analyses to detect coronavirus-seeking behavior versus coronavirus releases in the Middle East in 2020. Findings show that people in the Middle East use various keyword solutions to search for COVID-19 in Google. There is a significant correlation between coronavirus confirmed cases and scientific productivity (January 2020–December 2020). Also, there is a positive association between the number of deaths and the number of scientific publications (except Jordan). It was a positive and significant association between online coronavirus-seeking behavior on Google (RSVs) and the confirmed cases (except Syria and Yemen). Furthermore, it was a positive relationship between RSVs and scientific productivity in the Middle East (except Bahrain and Qatar). From an infodemiological viewpoint, there is a significant correlation between coronavirus information demand and its information provision.

COVID-19 的传播产生了对应对不同部门疫情的协调机制的基本需求。主要部门之一与数字环境中这一流行病中的信息供需有关。它可以称为信息流行病学。它被认为是解决当今时代挑战的一种有前途的方法。在这个层面上，本文的目的是通过实地研究调查与 COVID-19 相关的搜索过程。数据来自中东国家的谷歌趋势以及中东科学家在 Web of Science、Scopus 和 PubMed 中针对 COVID-19 的科学研究成果。从世界卫生组织检索了每日 COVID-19 病例和死亡病例。我们搜索了描述性统计分析，以检测 2020 年中东地区的冠状病毒搜索行为与冠状病毒释放情况。结果显示，中东地区的人们使用各种关键字解决方案在 Google 中搜索 COVID-19。冠状病毒确诊病例与科学生产力（2020 年 1 月至 2020 年 12 月）之间存在显着相关性。此外，死亡人数与科学出版物的数量之间存在正相关关系（约旦除外）。谷歌上的在线冠状病毒搜索行为 (RSV) 与确诊病例（叙利亚和也门除外）之间存在积极且显着的关联。此外，RSV 与中东（巴林和卡塔尔除外）的科学生产力之间存在正相关关系。从信息流行病学的角度来看，
