Abstract

The current COVID-19 pandemic is affecting public health and economy worldwide. This pandemic has also affected the working and management strategies of clinical practices, healthcare centres, academics, and research centres. The academic and research institutions, students, and research scholars are diverging towards the online platform such as zoom and google meet for teaching, discussing, and sharing knowledge and ideas. Hospitals have also started following the concept of telemedicine for prescribing medicines to patients. In the current situation, on one side the research related to COVID-19 is conducted at an unprecedented rate whereas on the other side the research concerned with other fields including the CNS research is affected adversely. Initially, during the lockdown, the research activities were resumed, and even after the lockdown is withdrawn the situations are no longer better. It is very challenging to carry out the research activities at an adequate pace keeping in view the present pandemic situation.
