If anyone compiles a list like Sunshine described, please share it here! One example that I know about is Duke University Press opening an assortment of books and journal articles on epidemic-related topics:

Scroll down - they’re maintaining a database of research, with links to publishers who are maintaining info.  I don’t know how comprehensive their listing is.

OSTP has also called for publishers to deposit all COVID-19-related research in PMC without embargo.

Sunshine - I had the same question.  It would be great to have a central site for this we could all consult.  Ivy, the WHO site is for info. about the virus - I think Sunshine was referring to the content providers who are opening enhanced access to their resources during this time.  Amira

Hello,
We've all seen the announcements from publishers and content providers (e.g. Annual Reviews, Kanopy, SpringerNature) of newly opened access to content (partially or completely) during the COVID-19 response.

Has anyone already created a compiled a list of these resources and their access points? We are discussing doing so for our campus, but I'd rather piggyback off someone elses list or create a crowd-sourced freely available document.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Sunshine
