Rapid Reviews COVID-19

Rapid Reviews: COVID-19 is an open-access overlay journal that accelerates peer review of COVID-19-related research preprints to advance new and important findings, and prevent the dissemination of false or misleading scientific news. The editors, led by Professor Stefano Bertozzi and based at UC Berkeley, approach COVID-19 and its wide-ranging effects from a multidisciplinary and global perspective, reviewing papers from the fields of medicine; public health; the physical, biological, and chemical sciences; engineering; social sciences and the humanities.

Reviewer Spotlight: Jeffrey Way

"The manuscript has a number of defects, most of which can be remedied without doing more experiments. Publication should at least be deferred until these issues are addressed."
