Trying to make sense of coronavirus COVID-19? News, data, and government sources
I like these Canadian reporters, Branswell and Belluz. They consistently link to a other good sources.
-
Helen Branswell -- of Stat (news site)This reporter tweets on infectious diseases. This is a Twitter feed, but I recommend Stat, at statnews.com.
-
CIDRAP's COVID-19 mapsLots of interesting maps. I especially have seen a lot of recommendations of the Johns Hopkins website (black and red map above).
CIDRAP is important in general, and they were one of the first English-language groups monitoring this outbreak. -
Chapel HIll has the best library guide on this thing.In addition to research links, UNC's guide has lots of NC links and links to practical sites.
-
Duke's guide is very useful.But many of Duke's links require Duke log in, even though most of these resources are free now. Search on product name, or ask me for help accessing (wiswellj@appstate.edu).
See Duke's search strategies.
CDC and other government agencies
-
MMWR -- Morbidity and Mortality Weekly ReportThis is the CDC's weekly report. This link shows their series of Covid-19 reports.
-
Emerging Infectious Disease (EID)a CDC journal
-
AppHealthCare -- Follow link for latestfor Watauga and northwestern NC
Most publishers have opened their Covid-19 research content. No paywall.
You will still probably want to start with PubMed.
-
LitCoVid -- Access PubMed's latest SARS-CoV-2 researchTry out this temporary PubMed interface that focuses on Covid-19. These are all peer-reviewed, I think, so it's missing the pre-print literature. See Dimensions and Semantic Scholar links below.
-
Dimensions searchSearch on string in title/abstracts: “covid-19” OR “2019-ncov” OR “sars-cov-2”
Limited now to only peer-reviewed articles. But you may update the search to include pre-prints. (Be careful with peer-reviewed and even more careful with pre-prints!) -
PubMed's trending articlesMany of PubMed's trending articles right now (c. 5/21/2020) are on this disease.
It might be useful to change this sorting to "Most recent."
-
Nature's news on Covid-19See also their link to latest research in Springer Nature journals,
https://www.springernature.com/gp/researchers/campaigns/coronavirus -
CORD-19 -- COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (Semantic Scholar)A free resource of over 128,000 scholarly articles (5/22/2020), including over 29,000 with full text, about COVID-19 and the coronavirus family of viruses for use by the global research community. Machine readable. This includes a lot of preprints, not yet peer-reviewed.
Note -- These are not the best links for full text access to content other than for coronavirus Covid-19. These publishers are offering Covid-19 landing pages and making all content free.
