AbstractThe outbreak of CIOVID-19 is an unprecedented and most disastrous phenomenon for the human society. In a very short span of time it became irrepressible across the globe, reaching almost every geographical location on the earth. Although, the scientific community was well aware about the existence of the corona virus mutations through previous researches conducted, and literature available regarding other traits of the same virus, it was indeed horrifying to encounter the infection caused by the deadly virus. The present study explores research on corona virus prior to the outbreak of COVID-19 to find out the dynamics of research in terms of different bibliometric parameters of publications. This study analyses different dimensions of research on Corona virus quantitatively and makes an observation of global contributions using Scientometrics indicators and other statistical tools. Keywords: Bibliometrics; Corona Virus; COVID-19; Research publications.
