Abstract
COVID-19, What to do now? This issue has had devastating effects in all domains of society worldwide. Lockdowns, the lack of freedom and social distancing meant the closure of a country’s entire activity. Having effects at all levels, beside incalculable ones in health, it is argued that scientific activity in education, business, economics and management suffered some of the most drastic impacts of this pandemic. This study aims to map the scientific literature in these areas in the context of COVID-19 and analyze its content through bibliometrics, which made it possible to highlight the scarcity of studies on the topic, namely empirical studies on the effects of this pandemic on scientific research and teaching/education. The results show there is a lack of peer-reviewed publications on this topic, with the studies covered (93) via the threads used revealing only 28 articles coming within the proposed objective. The bibliometrics corroborates that shortage. Finally, the contributions and implications for theory and practice are presented, followed by the limitations and suggestions for future research.
Highlights
The coronavirus, or COVID-19, was first detected in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, but only on 11 March 2020 did the World Health Organisation (WHO) declare that this had rapidly become a world pandemic, the first time a disease caused by a coronavirus had been considered as such [1]
String 1 and 3: Categories of Web of Science = and document types = String 2: categories of Web of Science = and document types = and years of publication (Limited to 2020, as only research following the emergence of COVID 19 is of interest) = (2020)
The second group was able to respond to the objective proposed, where the clusters closely related to the topics and sub-topics mapped in the descriptive and content analysis, corroborating the shortage of research in the areas of analysis associated with COVID-19
Summary
The coronavirus, or COVID-19, was first detected in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, but only on 11 March 2020 did the World Health Organisation (WHO) declare that this had rapidly become a world pandemic, the first time a disease caused by a coronavirus had been considered as such [1] In this scenario, COVID-19 had a major impact on public health, leading to an exponential growth of research in the field of medicine. Carmo and Franco [7] show that in this teaching typology that teachers must accompany, guide, motivate and assess their students in a virtual learning environment This means that teachers’ competences must go beyond everyday ones to include digital competences, the management of non face-to-face contact, flexibility and a mastery of online teaching, where digital interactivity has become the main way to create and transfer knowledge [8]
