“Open Education” is a new pedagogical phenomenon in academia, mainly due to the emphasis on digital communication and networkbased distribution of education. The present study aims to study the growth and pattern of global literature on Open Education published between 2001 and 2020. The authors analyze 1,119 bibliographic records on “Open Education” extracted from the Scopus database. The authors use various scientometric indicators like publication pattern; growth patterns; collaboration trends; co-authorship maps etc. Coauthorship network maps were prepared using VoSViewer.
