A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON STUDENTS

Abstract

The global impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has generated major changes in educational processes and universities’ activities, affecting both the private life and academic activity of students. All these developments have prompted academic scholars to shift their focus to the study these unprecedented phenomena. This research provides a bibliometric examination of the personal and academic repercussions of the COVID 19 pandemic for students. To assess how these implications have been reflected in academic works published so far, a search of the Scopus database for the keywords "Covid*" and "students*" yielded 15,641 scholarly publications published between 2019 and 2022. This bibliometric research presents an analysis of the evolution of the works in time, the main geographical areas, their classification by fields and the most cited works, and finally, the analysis of keywords and the strength of the links between the terms.
