An Open-Publishing Response to the COVID-19 Infodemic
Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed the rapid dissemination of papers and preprints investigating the disease and its associated virus, SARS-CoV-2. The multifaceted nature of COVID-19 demands a multidisciplinary approach, but the urgency of the crisis combined with the need for social distancing measures present unique challenges to collaborative science. We applied a massive online open publishing approach to this problem using Manubot. Through GitHub, collaborators summarized and critiqued COVID-19 literature, c…

“…We report two initiatives in the case of HLI. In [38], the authors applied a massive online open-publishing approach for improving the publication process using an automatic approach for referenced preprints, journal publications, websites, and clinical trials. Continuous integration workflows retrieved up-to-date data from online sources nightly, regenerating some of the manuscript's figures and statistics.…”

“…In general, the topic is broad, and the reviews (even systematic) focus on specific aspects while not being able to address them all at the same time. Even our study could not analyze all the implications and problems, which, however, with a three-point approach, tried to provide an integrative review by correlating social media developments at the local and global level [6,8], positions of international bodies [9][10][11][12], consensus initiatives [25], and recent scientific productions by selecting wide-ranging reviews and focused article reviews [26,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43], aiming to provide an overview of the problem. We must also consider that, although with caution in regard to the results, useful indications concerning emerging directions of research in this area also come from the preprints accessible on the websites dedicated to the pandemic.…”

“…With Manubot, users write manuscripts using markdown with special support for citation by persistent identifiers represented as CURIEs such as [@doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007128] (which can then be automatically turned into a full citation). Embedding CURIEs in manuscripts is especially valuable when referring to resources that are not citable manuscripts such as clinical trials (e.g., in a review of COVID-1945 ). Manubot initially added support for 700 CURIE prefixes by incorporating Identifiers.org but later switched to the Bioregistry which at the time added support for an additional 365 prefixes.…”
