Since COVID-19 was first found in December 2019, Wuhan, in China. Later, it was globally speared and in January 2019 it was found in India (WHO). Therefore, the researchers also collect the data very exclusively i.e. from 2019 to 2021, up to June. A total number of 3024 records are considering for this study. It has been found that India, the USA, England, China, and Singapore had the highest number of research items among other countries. “Indian Journal of Ophthalmology” was the source with the highest number of research items with 99 documents. India is the most superior country in terms of collaborative research with 3024 and 2574 total link strengths. India has received the highest citation 21099 among the top 20 countries out of 133. The top authors were identified in terms of productivity, impact, collaborations, sources, and affiliations with few exceptions mainly from affected regions. The scientometrics analysis presents the descriptive quantitative metrics for Covid-19 pandemic research in India. The result shows that India also provides evidence of the increased global collaboration of research for fighting with COVID 19 pandemic.
