The COVID-19 situation is still dominating our lives. The “new normal” is a way to contain the spread of the virus, but it is not to last forever.

The scientific community is very active in studying the virus (SARS-CoV-2) and developing a vaccine or an effective treatment against COVID-19. Hence, many scientific articles are published about the virus, and it is not easy to keep track of them.

One way to efficiently explore those articles is to use the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19) that I learned about at an AI conference.

The site applies AI technologies such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), Text Mining, and others to handle the vast amount of articles that already exist, and that grows daily.

You get sophisticated search engines and filters to navigate your way through. You can personalize a feed to update you on new research, and you can learn about relations among the research done.

If you are interested in scientific articles, CORD-19 is a great place to start.
