By the beginning of April 2020, more than one million confirmed cases and more than 66,000 deaths were reported worldwide (Curigliano...etc, 2020) ,Meanwhile, a great deal of information spread; some of which were reliable and some others were not.

The unreliable information resulted in the spread of rumors, fear, grief, pain, and so on among the members of society.

In this regard, the importance of this study lies in preparing a bibliographic list of the reliable sources of information published online in both Arabic and English so that the reader can refer to them when searching for the means of prevention and treatment of covid-19.

The study was based on the bibliometric approach, where a bibliographic list of the reliable sources of information available online was prepared and the bibliometric analysis was followed for studying the thematic and linguistic trends and the formal and numerical trends, in addition to studying the authorship trends of these sources.

The study ended with the preparation of a list of 267 sources, of which 91sources are in English and 176 sources are in Arabic.

The list included various forms of reliable information sources; that is, it involved 49 videos, 182 Articles, 21 posters, 2 books, a manual, and 12 pdf files, which helps beneficiaries to access reliable sources in various forms about the prevention and treatment of covid-19.
