On March 13th, 2020, the White House asked the Scholarly Publishing Community to make all COVID-19 papers immediately openly and machine readable. On March 16th, the Wellcome Trust published a list of publishers that have pledged to make coronavirus (COVID-19) content freely available and reusable. However, much of the current COVID-19 literature might return behind paywalls in the future.
If you support transparent and open access to health and biomedical research, or simply want to access COVID-19 research, here are some resources below.
Download the Unpaywall browser extension to access open access versions of research. The Unpaywall extension allows you to read research for free by clicking the green lock that appears when an open version is available. For questions about scholarly publisher response or open access advocacy, contact the Welch Library.
You can find more publishing resources on the Welch Scholarly Publishing and Open Access guide.
