The Center for Open Science (COS) was launched April 23, 2020 in response to the urgent and ongoing need for aggregated and discoverable COVID-19 related research, including SARS, SARS-CoV, MERS, and MERS-CoV. The Open Science Framework (OSF) Coronavirus Collection is filterable by keywords and other metadata for quick browsing and identification of open materials, data, and code that may be relevant to the existing efforts of visitors. Using OSF, any funder, journal, society, or research group can build an archival active repository of active scholarship to improve sharing and discoverability for their communities in specific research interests, themes, or taxonomies.
