Special Call for manuscripts – Population Data Science for COVID-19
Opening Date: 06/04/2020
Call Closed
We find ourselves in a global pandemic, referred to as COVID-19. There is much research underway on all aspects of the pandemic, including to slow its spread, improve diagnostic tests and develop a vaccine. Population Data Science has a unique part to play because of the availability of large-scale datasets on the general population or on specific cohorts, such as age groups, geographic regions, particular health conditions or socio-economic levels.
We will endeavour to expedite the review process and to publish articles in this special issue as a priority.
