Abstract


A documentary review was carried out on the production and publication of research papers on the study of the variable Higher Education during COVID 19 and its Challenges in the Transition to Online Education. The purpose of this bibliometric analysis is to know the main characteristics of the volume of publications registered in the Scopus database during the period 2020 and January in Latin American countries in 2022, achieving the identification of 612 publications. The information provided by this platform was organized by means of tables and figures, categorizing the information by Year of Publication, Country of Origin, Area of Knowledge and Type of Publication. Once these characteristics were described, the position of different authors regarding the proposed topic was referenced by means of a qualitative analysis. Among the main findings of this research, it is found that Brazil, with 217 publications, is the Latin American country with the highest production. The area of knowledge that made the greatest contribution to the construction of bibliographic material referring to the study of education in higher education in COVID 19 was social sciences with 251 published documents, and the type of publication that was most used during the aforementioned period was the journal article, which represents 75% of the total scientific production.
