Global Initiatives for Open Access Research During the COVID-19 PandemicThe Role of Open Access in Tackling Future Pandemics Open access research has transformed scholarly communication. This is because it has enabled the free flow of scientific information, both new and old, among scientists, which has been extremely useful to their scientific research.
Data sharing Among many organizations, the Open COVID‐19 Data Working Group has been focused on providing accurate data related to COVID-19 patients across the globe, for example, the date of onset of the disease, travel history, and date of hospitalization. The data generated by this organization initiated the development of HealthMap, which presented the current status of the pandemic diffusion with the location at a given point in time.
Other open-access databases, such as National Center for Biotechnology Information Virus and Public Health Genomics and Precision Health Knowledge Base , allow scientists to screen, retrieve, and study SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences. The complete genomic sequence of SARS-CoV-2, which was first reported from Wuhan, China, in 2019, has been uninhibitedly shared among all researchers across countries and this helped them immensely in their respective studies. Scientists stated that open access to research publications should be the modus operandi of the present and future research scenarios.
The role of open access in tackling future pandemics The world has noticed how open access data helped the scientific research community and the general public to tackle the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. Scientific publications are the backbone of future novel discoveries.
