Summary of the project
The project is centred around the production of scientific literature related with COVID-19 and potential inefficiencies on its dissemination and reception. The goal of the project is to provide analytical tools that help decision making on the strategies pursued by institutions and research organizations on coordinating their scientific efforts to communicate their results, and respond in an efficient way to the communicational challenges that the coronavirus crisis has brought to the scientific communication system.
The project is structured on two parts:
- Part 1 Diagnosis of the scientific information overload.
- Part 2 Access and public reception of scientific information
