Elsevier invites researchers and data scientists focused on Coronavirus and COVID-19 vaccines and drugs, as well as clinical research, to access this Elsevier provides solutions and Tools for free to their work through Elsevier Coronavirus Research Hub.
This scheme offering a collection of clinical, bio-medical and life sciences research resources and solutions to the community for free, for Coronavirus research through 28th of October 2020. These services may be used by academic, government, not-for-profit and commercial researchers.
Elsevier will initially give priority access to researchers working on a vaccine, drug, and clinical research while we are working hard to increase the capacity and capabilities of the platform for further use cases.
Elsevier Coronavirus Research Hub
The Elsevier Coronavirus Research Hub will include access to ClinicalKey, Embase, SSRN, Mendeley Data, the Science Direct Covid-19 collection, Elsevier Text Mining (ETM), Mendeley and the Pure Covid-19 Portal.
Covid-19 Research Database
The COVID-19 research database is a collection of de-identified data sets made freely available to public health and policy researchers to extract insights for combatting the COVID-19 pandemic.
The database is a pro-bono, cross-industry collaboration composed of a consortium of institutions that have contributed data, technology services, health sector knowledge.
Until now, researchers and policy-makers seeking to answer questions about the pandemic could only conduct research on fragmented data sets (such as the data set from a particular hospital), or to conduct long, prospective clinical trials, which makes it difficult to rapidly answer questions about the epidemiology and treatment of the disease.
