SARS-CoV-2: Navigating information overload with Lens.org | Notebook or My Personal Learning Network | Scoop.it
Evidence must be used to guide interventions for the COVID-19 pandemic, but that evidence must be comprehensive, credible  and shared for it to be effective.   This report focuses on how global scientific research and patenting activity relevant to  SARS-CoV-2, including its  genetics and pathogenesis, can be discovered and made transparent, open, shareable and navigable to help inform how it could be translated into intervention options.   We demonstrate how the platform Lens.org can be used to conduct reliable systematic scholarly and patent searches, refine and build domain-based collections to share publicly, and set alerts to receive notifications for updates.   We also provide some analyses/comments on some of these collections.   Our aim is to enable researchers to find clarity into the discovery, analysis, and translation of COVID-19 scientific and patent knowledge into products, practices or services to help mitigate the current crisis.
