While cities respond to COVID-19 with lockdowns and border closures, science is becoming more open, says an observer.

So while cities are locked down and borders are closed in response to the coronavirus outbreak, science is becoming more open. This openness is already making a difference to scientists’ response to the virus and has the potential to change the world.

The WHO and national organisations like the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention also publish open statistical data, such as the number of patients. This can help researchers to map the spread of the virus and offer the public up-to-date and transparent information. Authors can publish their articles free to access, which often means they need to pay the publishers an average £2,000 in article processing costs.Scientists around the world are racing to develop a vaccine for the new coronavirus that emerged in China late last year.
