Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The sudden onset and the wide spread of the COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2) pandemic has radically altered medicine, including clinical care, research, and training that in some cases have experienced significant disruption. With regard to training future researchers and clinicians, residencies and fellowship programs have often pivoted to virtual formats, with far-reaching implications for trainees. On the other side, with an extraordinary show of solidarity, scientists across the globe have mobilized to combat COVID-19. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, virology research (including influenza) represented less than 2% of all biomedical research. However, the number of laboratories and investigators that have pivoted to address COVID-19-related research questions is astonishing, likely comprising 10–20% of current biomedical investigation, showing the incredible adaptability of the research community. The sharing of research findings and research data has never been as rapid and efficient.
“Feature Papers on COVID-19” will offer the possibility to collect stimulating articles from top researchers dealing with modern approaches and beyond in the field of pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnostics, clinical management, research, and more in SARS-CoV-2 infection, including the biomedical, sociobehavioral, economic, environmental, and clinical aspects.
We welcome the submission of manuscripts from Editorial Board Members and from outstanding scholars invited by the Editorial Board and the Editorial Office.
You are welcome to send short proposals for submissions of feature papers to our Editorial Office for evaluation.
Dr. Nicola Petrosillo
Guest Editor
