Covid-19 is an unprecedented challenge that disruptively reshapes societies and scientific research communities. Facing the knowledge flood brought by the overwhelming volume of research efforts, there still lacks a platform to link those to previous knowledge foundations and efficiently visualize and understand them. Aiming to fill this gap, we propose a research framework in this paper to assist scientists in identifying, retrieving, and visualizing the emerging Covid-19 knowledge. The proposed framework incorporates principal topic decomposition (PCD), text analytics-based knowledge model (KM), and the hierarchical topic tree (HTT) method to profile the research landscape, retrieve knowledge of specific interest, and visualize the knowledge structures. Initially, our topic analysis of 127, 971 research papers published during 2020-2021 identified 35 research hotspots. Furthermore, we built up a knowledge model on the topic of vaccination and retrieved 92, 286 research papers from the entire PubMed database as the knowledge foundation of this topic. Lastly, the HTT results of the retrieved papers highlighted multiple relevant disciplines, from whose branches we identified four future research directions: Monoclonal antibody treatments, vaccination in diabetic patients, vaccination effectiveness in SARS-CoV-2 antigenic drift, and vaccination-related allergic sensitization.
