Global Scientific Output on Online Education during the Covid-19 Pandemic: Analysis of the 2020-2021 Periods
Abstract
The study aims to characterize the global scientific production on online education during the Covid19
pandemic in the period 2020-2021. To this end, the databases Scopus, Web of Science, Google
Scholar, PubMed, Microsoft Academic, Dimensions and Crosreff were analyzed between January
2020 and April 2021. We worked with a universe of 1,411 articles obtained, in which the bibliometric
indicators were measured using the Publish or Perish v. 7.19 software and the same analytical
software of the databases chosen. The results showed a total of 3,293 citations with an average of
548.30 citations per year; 3.16 citations per article and 294.71 citations per author. On average, the
publications have an h-index of 9.00, a g-index of 14.50 and an e-index of 11.54. Finally, the AW
index was 15.75 and the AWCR was 401.17. These results show that the production of scientific
articles on online education during the pandemic has experienced significant growth, which
demonstrates the need to investigate this activity in order to measure its impact.
