Scientific research and innovation will be vital in containing and mitigating the effects of the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic.

Cochrane’s senior leadership, together with counterparts at our publishing partner, Wiley, have been exploring ways that Cochrane can respond promptly to this unprecedented global health crisis by making our health evidence more accessible and available to those needing to make informed decisions at this time. This involves making our content openly available on the Wiley Online Library with other relevant content as well as our participation in a broad industry initiative to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and the pace of clinical discovery; see here for more information.
