1. The pandemic has caused about 30% decrease in GDP in the USA (Azoulay, P., & Jones, B. (2020))
2. About 80% of on-site researching was canceled because of social distancing(Wigginton 2020)
3. Scientists and researchers are frustrated with reviewing literature during the pandemic.
4. Wildlife in Africa is threatened as a result of consequential financial problems of lower tourism spending and donor funding (Lindsey 2020).
5. Economical and financial problems may improve exposure to and consumption of wild animals, and increase future pandemic risks (Di Marco 2020)
6. Food Security. "COVID-19-related hunger may
well kill more people than direct infection."(Food2020 Nature)
7. Psychosocial health and obesity epidemic as a side effect of lockdown during pandemic is also apprised(Clemmensen 2020 Nature).

- The influx of COVID-19 related papers.
- Hard to catch up for the researchers.
- The COVID-19 pandemic needs to be the priority for CSCW practitioners.
- CSCW tech solutions may be able to offer a valuable solution (call for action)

Introduction-- Reading and Evaluating literature during a Pandemic: A call to action

There are some weeks-old efforts do exist. For instance: A search platform with Allen Institute with Google, FB.  But CSCW community may be able to offer a more integrated solution.

This node outlines the planned manuscript structure:

0. Abstract — Summarize the study and include CCS Concepts and additional keywords.
1. Introduction — Present the research questions and proposed contributions: how COVID-19 researchers used channels such as social media and preprint servers to move research forward, the challenges they faced, how scientific-publication technology providers responded to increased submissions and screened poor-quality work, and how the findings could inform research-supporting stakeholders.
2. Related Work — Cover preprint servers, peer review, rapid dissemination, reproducibility, contradictory findings, retractions, and potentially relevant science-of-science theories.
3. Method — Describe the qualitative study.
4. Analysis — Present the contextual analysis.
5. Results — Report the findings.
6. Discussion — Interpret the findings and consider design implications.
7. Conclusion — Summarize the study and its implications.
