SARS-CoV-2 is a new virus responsible for an outbreak of respiratory illness known as COVID-19, which has spread to several countries around the world. As a leading research publisher, Springer Nature is committed to supporting the global response to emerging outbreaks by enabling fast and direct access to the latest available research, evidence, and data.

All content listed here is related research articles from Springer Nature journals, as well as additional commentary on this topic and relevant books and is free to access.

Educational institutions across the world have had to move ongoing classes online in order to apply to social distancing measures introduced by governments. Springer Nature would like to support institutions that have been affected by the lockdown with free access to textbooks.

Springer Nature encourages early sharing of research submitted to all the journals through preprints, and the In Review preprint service is available for many journals. Springer Nature strongly urges authors submitting articles related to this emergency to share underlying datasets relating to the outbreak as rapidly and widely as possible.

Springer Nature continues to work with global organisations to support the sharing of relevant research and data, including supporting the World Health Organisation and the initiative from the White House Office of Science and Technology to make all relevant global research, and data, immediately available in one place via PubMed Central. We are also a signatory on the consensus statement, Sharing research data and findings relevant to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
