This is the whole list of all scientific articles about COVID-19 available in the medical literature, according to Pubmed. Guess what? Almost half of them are written in chinese. No wonder that last year China bet USA in number of scientific papers produced.
From the total of 45 papers, 8 papers were published in 2019 and 38 papers have already been published this year, as of March 18 2020 when the research was conducted. Its quite come literature being produced for this short amount of time, isn’t it?
Thanks to the chinese researchers, the world can understand a little more about what’s happening and learn fast with each other experience. This is probably the biggest scientific trend of this year, as happened with Zika virus the other year… way too many viruses to deal with. One may say that this is the kind of “war” we will have to face to prevent a huge decline in humankind.
Scientific publishers are also making a huge effort to make public health evidence and small scale studies reports available as soon as possible, sometimes published the very same day they are submitted.
This is the response we all wanted from pre-print publication, isn’t it? It’s happening. See below the list of all scientific literatura available for COVID-19 coronavirus:
