Description
Summary:Nepal could not remain unaffected by the Covid 19 pandemic spread all over the world. It not only attacked people’s health but affected every sector in the country. It made long-term effects on the social, economic, political, and educational sectors. The educational sector has been badly affected. Universities and schools remained almost closed. Research and education are limited to online mode. Libraries and resources centers are also closed. Hence researchers need to totally depend upon online resources. As a developing country, Nepal doesn’t have access to many commercial databases so they have to rely on open access content. The importance of open access during this pandemic has been increased.
