Collaboration in times of COVID-19: the urgent need for open-data sharing in Latin America

Abstract

The pandemic of COVID-19 has shown that the information disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and accompanying online data sets is vital for decision-makers. However, we are currently seeing several deficiencies in open-data sharing mechanisms globally, and in particular Latin American countries, and therefore, this highlights the need for open access to data.
