Popis: The strategies for managing the health crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic differ from country to country, but “there has never been such a rapid global collective effort to fight one disease” (1). The scientific community respond- ed to the crisis by extensive mobilization of all research re- sources with an aim to shed light on the virus characteris- tics, mechanisms of its transmission, clinical aspects of the disease, and prevention and management strategies. The number of articles arising from clinical studies and obser- vations has so far multiplied at an unprecedented rate. The largest number has been published in scientific journals, which have responded to this epidemiological and infor- mation crisis in accordance with their role in the transmis- sion of new scientific information – quickly, openly, effec- tively, and responsibly.
