COVID-19 Publication and the Future of Research
Journal Title: Journal of Ophthalmology and Advance Research - Year 2021, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
It has been more than 1 year since the COVID-19 pandemic despite the advance in medicine and healthcare, human appears small in front of the frequent emerging infectious diseases in recent decades [1]. These are partly caused by the raise in microbial adaptation, human activity, and substantial international movement. A global pandemic with multi places lockdown affected our way of living and inevitably the way of conducting academic studies and researches. It has significantly delayed recruitment in clinical research trials, and potentially gapping the development of science. Translational research took up the leading role in converting the scientific findings into practical health care provision [2]. Practitioners played the intimate role in collaborating across research centers and hospitals where COVID-19 patients were hospitalized. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many innovative advances emerged such as telemedicine, teleconsultation, virtual webinar or even conferences were blooming in the healthcare sector [3,4]. We should all grasp this golden opportunities to cooperate at the national and international level, which the evolvement of the Journal of Ophthalmology and Advance Research is one of the many examples among all.
