Dear Academia Community, Academia has members and visitors from all around the world. Wherever you are right now, we are wishing you well. We hope this letter finds you in a place of safety and health. Our thoughts are with those of you who may be unwell, anxious, or grieving during this time. We wanted to share an update about what is going on with Academia and Coronavirus. First of all, mercifully, the team is all healthy here. There's a shelter-in-place order for San Francisco and the Bay Area, so we are all working from home. That's going well so far - we are able to keep everything running, and the team is working at full strength. Academia's mission is to Accelerate the World's Research. We feel that mission is particularly pertinent at this time. Our platform is able to provide access and distribution at a very large scale, so that's what we will do with Coronavirus and COVID-19 research. We have put together a page highlighting some key research papers on the novel coronavirus and the COVID-19 disease. You can find it here. In addition to curated content, it also lists the related reading that our algorithms have found for those papers. As always, we appreciate your help in creating and sharing this work. If you know of a paper that should be featured, please email us at coronavirus@academia.edu. If you have written a related paper that you want to get out to the community, please upload it to your profile at academia.edu/Papers/Upload, and then let us know about it via the email address above. Finally, we've made our Premium features free for Coronavirus- and COVID-19-related content. Advanced Search, Bulk Download, 5-minute Overviews, and Lists are available without a Premium account for all relevant searches and papers. We are grateful for the important work that scientists, doctors, nurses, teachers, parents, and all others are doing at this time. Thank you from all of us here - we are proud you are our community. We'll continue to work on our mission and wish you well over the next weeks and months. Please let us know if you have any thoughts about what else we can do to help. Our best wishes to you all, and take care, Richard, Ben, Mitch, and the whole Academia team San Francisco, USA |
