Meta-research on COVID-19: An overview of the early trends

Giovanni Colavizza

COVID-19 is having a dramatic impact on research and researchers. The pandemic has underlined the severity of known challenges in research and surfaced new ones, but also accelerated the adoption of innovations and manifested new opportunities. This review considers early trends emerging from meta-research on COVID-19. In particular, it focuses on the following topics: i) mapping COVID-19 research; ii) data and machine learning; iii) research practices including open access and open data, reviewing, publishing and funding; iv) communicating research to the public; v) the impact of COVID-19 on researchers, in particular with respect to gender and career trajectories. This overview finds that most early meta-research on COVID-19 has been reactive and focused on short-term questions, while more recently a shift to consider the long-term consequences of COVID-19 is taking place. Based on these findings, the author speculates that some aspects of doing research during COVID-19 are more likely to persist than others. These include: the shift to virtual for academic events such as conferences; the use of openly accessible pre-prints; the `datafication' of scholarly literature and consequent broader adoption of machine learning in science communication; the public visibility of research and researchers on social and online media.

COVID-19 元研究:早期趋势概述

COVID-19 对研究和研究人员产生了巨大影响。大流行凸显了研究中已知挑战的严重性,并出现了新挑战,但也加速了创新的采用并展现了新的机遇。本综述考虑了 COVID-19 元研究中出现的早期趋势。特别是,它侧重于以下主题:i)绘制 COVID-19 研究图;ii) 数据和机器学习;iii) 研究实践,包括开放获取和开放数据、审查、出版和资助;iv) 向公众传播研究;v) COVID-19 对研究人员的影响,特别是在性别和职业轨迹方面。本概述发现,大多数关于 COVID-19 的早期元研究都是被动的,并专注于短期问题,最近,人们开始考虑 COVID-19 的长期后果。基于这些发现,作者推测在 COVID-19 期间进行研究的某些方面比其他方面更有可能持续下去。其中包括: 学术活动(如会议)转向虚拟;使用可公开获取的预印本;学术文献的“数据化”以及随之而来的机器学习在科学传播中的更广泛采用;研究和研究人员在社交和在线媒体上的公众知名度。学术文献的“数据化”以及随之而来的机器学习在科学传播中的更广泛采用;研究和研究人员在社交和在线媒体上的公众知名度。学术文献的“数据化”以及随之而来的机器学习在科学传播中的更广泛采用;研究和研究人员在社交和在线媒体上的公众知名度。
