COVID-19 is an infectious disease of the newly discovered coronavirus (CoV). The importance and value of open access (OA) resources are critical in the context of the COVID-19 epidemic. OA aided in the development of a vaccine and informed public health actions necessary to stop the virus from spreading. Many publishers implicitly acknowledged that OA was vital to promote science in the fight against the disease. Accordingly, publishers have committed to OA publication and scholarly communication of disease-related scientific research. This chapter covers three issues based on the modeling of the CoV dataset. First, an exploratory data analysis is done to detect the hidden facts and the relevant information patterns about the affected, recovered, death cases caused by the CoV and the vaccination details. Second, a predictive model is developed using machine learning techniques to effectively predict the number of COVID-19 positive cases in India. In the last step, a hybrid computational model is developed to identify the misconceptions that are spread through social media networks.
