Starting with CZI Meta as the input, the articles will be triaged by categories/subcategories and sent to the assigned curators for further review. Curators will provide recommendations to the curator-in-chief who will decide what articles will be posted on the registry site.

Registry will focus on reviews and research articles, both published and preprints. We also share COVID-19 educational materials for researchers and students.

Every other week, the registry publishes a commentary from a curator on a recent paper posted to the registry. 

Once a month, the registry hosts a virtual journal club to offer an opportunity to share knowledge and diverse perspectives on the field of coronavirus research. All the past sessions are available at the registry virtual journal club archive. These sessions have attracted researchers and educators from over 40 countries worldwide.

As of May 2022, there have been over 2400 articles posted to the registry and over 268,000 papers screened from CZI Meta. The registry has received over 125,000 unique pageviews by almost 80,000 users since its launch in April 2020.

No, papers from all journals & pre-prints sources are considered and reviewed.

We will focus on publications on basic science, translational science, and clinical trials. The registry will not include articles related to patient management.

Curators are leaders in their particular scientific discipline with extensive experience in studying coronaviruses or other microbial agents.

No. The work is selected based on the best judgment of the curator(s). The goal of the curation is to help the scientific community quickly get up to speed with current, relevant and scientifically sound COVID-19 research. Certainly, many of the curated articles have already been published and gone through peer review.

Curated works for the registry must meet at least 2 criteria:

1. They add value to the current state of knowledge or fill a needed gap in understanding.
2. They are scientifically sound.
