“…During the early stage of disease emergence, studies in the form of short reports or viewpoints were common and become publications with high numbers of citations [66]. Such collaboration and active data-sharing policies are essential aspects to fight this pandemic and other future crises [67][68][69]. The high number of studies on COVID-19 indicates that it will be necessary to conduct active research with the emergence of new variants of the diseases [70][71][72].…”

India is ranked fifth in the world in terms of COVID-19 publications accounting for 6.7% of the total. About 60% of the COVID-19 publications in the year 2020 are from United States, China, UK, Italy, and India. We present a bibliometric analysis of the publication trends and citation structure along with the identification of major research clusters. By performing network analysis of authors, citations, institutions, keywords, and countries, we explore semantic associations by applying visualization techniques. Our study shows lead taken by the United States, China, UK, Italy, India in COVID-19 research may be attributed to the high prevalence of COVID-19 cases in those countries witnessing the first outbreak and also due to having access to COVID-19 data, access to labs for experimental trials, immediate funding, and overall support from the govt. agencies. A large number of publications and citations from India are due to co-authored publications with countries like the United States, UK, China, and Saudi Arabia. Findings show health sciences have the highest number of publications and citations, while physical sciences and social sciences and humanities counts were low. A large proportion of publications fall into the open-access category. With India as the focus, by comparing three major pandemics—SARS, MERS, COVID-19—from a bibliometrics perspective, we observe much broader involvement of authors from multiple countries for COVID-19 studies when compared to SARS and MERS. Finally, by applying bibliometric indicators, we see an increasing number of sustainable development-related studies from the COVID-19 domain, particularly concerning the topic of good health and well-being. This study allows for a deeper understanding of how the scholarly community from a populous country like India pursued research in the midst of a major pandemic which resulted in the closure of scientific institutions for an extended time.

“…Some optimistic scholars have seen the adoption of educational technologies during the pandemic as evidence for pedagogical innovation and educational transformation (Bonk, 2020; Raman et al., 2021; Yang & Huang, 2021). However, as the excerpt demonstrates, it seemed difficult to challenge the long‐lasting and taken‐for‐granted assumptions underlying the university's and its members' practice.…”

“…Sophisticated virtual-learning platforms with interactivity, animations and simulations and remote-lab connections are finding increased usage during the COVID-19 pandemic [41,42]. According to the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT), India had one of the strictest lockdowns during the year 2020.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the closure of schools at every level, globally, forcing education to move online. Meeting the needs of students online for Science Lab classes, in particular, is a challenge since the physical labs are not available to the teachers or students. OLabs is a virtual Science Lab providing a complete learning environment of theory, experimental procedures, videos, animations, simulations, and assessments that capture real lab experiences with the relevant pedagogy. This study looks at the acquisition and behaviors of users, on the OLabs platform, during pre and COVID-19 times. Using Google Analytics, we observe that, during the pandemic time, users increasingly adopted OLabs as a new learning pedagogy for performing experiments as indicated by parameters like the number of users; the number of unique pages viewed per session; time spent on viewing content; bounce rate; and preference for content types such as theory, simulations, videos, and animations.
