The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has been identified as the cause of a respiratory illness known as COVID-19, which has spread throughout the globe. As a leading research publisher, Springer Nature is committed to supporting the global response to emerging outbreaks by enabling fast and direct access to the latest available research, evidence, and data.
Springer Nature encourages early sharing of research submitted to all our journals through preprints, and our In Review preprint service is available for many journals. We strongly urge authors submitting articles related to this emergency to Springer Nature journals to share underlying interim and final research datasets relating to the outbreak as rapidly and widely as possible, including with public health and research communities and the WHO. We are a signatory on a joint statement committing to sharing research data and findings relevant to the novel coronavirus outbreak. More information is available here.
We have collated research articles from Springer Nature journals that we have identified as the most recent and relevant to coronavirus research, as well as additional commentary on this topic and relevant books: https://www.springernature.com/gp/researchers/campaigns/coronavirus. The page will be continually updated and all content listed therein is free to access. If you are not able to get access to an article that you believe to be important in both understanding and addressing this emergency, please contact us.
In addition, we are highlighting below notable recent content from our journals relevant to the recent outbreak. Please do not hesitate to contact us on press@nature.com if you have any questions or need any further information.
