A few days ago, Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) presented its recommendations for COVID-19 resources in repositories. COAR emphasized the necessity of repositories and regional networks working collaboratively in order to make investigations more visible, with the purpose that governments, public and private institutions can use them to build new knowledge to fight against COVID-19.  

Following these recommendations, LA Referencia´s homepage now gives access to a parameterized search that consolidates COVID-19 research in Latin America repositories.

It is a dynamic collection which grows every week. At this moment contains approximately 500 academic documents, and represents the research outputs deposited in repositories of the Network in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay.            

In this manner, LA Referencia joins global Open Science efforts to build and democratize knowledge about this disease, collaborating with the institutions and people who work everyday to overcome this sanitary, social and economic crisis generated by COVID-19.
