The National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health is hosting a free webinar for researchers to learn how to share, discover, and cite COVID-19 data and code in generalist repositories on Friday, April 24 from 11:00 a.m. – 12:45 p.m. PT.

The biomedical research community’s understanding of the novel coronavirus and the associated coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is rapidly evolving. Open science and the timely sharing of research data have played a critical role in advancing our understanding of COVID-19 and accelerating the pace of discovery.

Researchers will have an opportunity to hear from multiple generalist repositories about the ways each repository is supporting discoverability and reusability of COVID-19 data and associated code. The NLM will also provide an overview of available COVID-19 literature.

The webinar will be available via NIH VideoCast.

Instructions on submitting questions will be made available closer to the webinar. Interested participants are encouraged to bookmark this page for the latest updates and follow #NIHdata on Twitter.  The webinar will be recorded and available a week after the live event.

See the agenda on the ODSS website.
