It was an interesting webinar. I ended up as member of a 60-person panel with a total attendance of nearly 3,000 scientists from across the world. The aim was to introduce and invite scientists to participate in the
Frontiers CoronaVirus Knowledge Hub. The link provides access to 59
Research Topics relevant to the current pandemic with over 100 further topics under consideration. Although these Research Topics have only recently been opened, submissions with a fast-track refereeing process include nearly 2000 articles to date, with 155 accepted and 521 rejected on scientific grounds so far. The Hub contains lots more information on funding opportunities, webinars, expert commentary, opportunities for funders to find expert reviewers, etc. Everything to do with CoronaVirus is online at zero cost.
For people that want to access the most current refereed research at source, rather than filtered through journalistic channels, the Hub looks very good to me.
Cheers, Mike
