Result: A total of 200 articles were obtained together with their corresponding metadata after the search, where the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. It was found that the largest number of 107 articles were published in the year 2021, and most of these were in the Q2 quartile (top 26%-50%). Being their majority published in China, United States and United Kingdom.

Conclusion: The scientific production related to the topic of addiction to social networks and COVID-19 is higher in the country of China, followed by United Kingdom. The highest number of scientific publications was in the year 2021.
