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.
