Abstract: Abstract In this article, we conduct data mining and statistical analysis on the most effective countries, universities, and companies, based on their output (e.g., produced or collaborated) on COVID-19 during the first wave of the pandemic. Hence, the focus of this article is on the first wave of the pandemic. While in later stages of the pandemic, US and UK performed best in terms of vaccine production, the focus in this article is on the initial few months of the pandemic. The article presents findings from our analysing of all available records on COVID-19 from the Web of Science Core Collection. The results are compared with all available data records on pandemics and epidemics from 1900 to 2020. This has created interesting findings that are presented in the article with visualisation tools.
