WHO COVID-19 Database

WHO is gathering the latest international multilingual scientific findings
and knowledge on COVID-19. The majority of citations referenced are
published journal articles. The global literature cited in the WHO COVID-19
database is updated daily (Monday through Friday) from searches of
bibliographic databases, hand searching, and the addition of other
expert-referred scientific articles. Particular emphasis is placed on
identifying literature from around the world. Multiple search strategies
that are under continual revision are used to obtain this global
perspective. New research is added regularly.

Available since January 26th, a more powerful search interface has just
been launched on the 14th of April and can be accessed at the following
link:

https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/global-research-on-novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov

The WHO evidence retrieval sub-group has begun collaboration with key
partners to enrich the citations and build a more comprehensive database
with inclusion of other content. Future improvements are envisioned on
improve the end user’s experience.  The database is built by BIREME, the
Specialized Center of PAHO/AMRO and part of the Regional Office’s
Department of Evidence and Intelligence for Action in Health.
