Scholarly publishers are joining forces to fast-track review of COVID-19 studies.
A group of scientific publishers and scholarly organizations are joining forces to help review and publish an onslaught of COVID-19 research studies as quickly as possible, according to an article from ChemistryWorld. The ambitious initiative reportedly aims to speed up the peer review process while ensuring the scientific rigor and reproducibility.
