ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to use the Scopus
database to conduct a bibliometric analysis of 4229 publications published in
online Learning in Malaysia between 2020 and 2023. The study’s goals are to shed light on
how researchers from different institutions are working together, to name the
most influential authors, universities, countries, and reference papers, to
reveal the areas of study that have seen the most activity in recent years, and
to analyze Malaysia’s contribution to the field.
According to the results, the most successful
nations in terms of online education are Malaysia, Indonesia, the United States
of America, and Australia. The leading authors and online-learning researchers
are Chung and Subramaniam. At the time of COVID-19, the National University of
Malaysia was the undisputed leader in research on e-learning in Malaysia. The most widely published journals
are the International Journal of Advanced
Computer Science and Applications and the Asian Journal of University Education. Based on the findings,
the author, university, and country collaboration on Online Learning is
at a medium level, and COVID-19 highly influences distance education.
