Abstract
The strategies for managing the health crisis triggered by
the COVID-19 pandemic differ from country to country,
but “there has never been such a rapid global collective effort
to fight one disease” (1). The scientific community respond-
ed to the crisis by extensive mobilization of all research re-
sources with an aim to shed light on the virus characteris-
tics, mechanisms of its transmission, clinical aspects of the
disease, and prevention and management strategies. The
number of articles arising from clinical studies and obser-
vations has so far multiplied at an unprecedented rate. The
largest number has been published in scientific journals,
which have responded to this epidemiological and infor-
mation crisis in accordance with their role in the transmis-
sion of new scientific information – quickly, openly, effec-
tively, and responsibly.
