Coronavirus - COVID-19 Information Resources

RCSI Open Access Research

RCSI COVID-19 research 

The RCSI repository collates RCSI open access research.  Here you can find the full text of RCSI published articles, report and theses.

We have gathered as much of RCSI research on COVID-19 as possible in the repository.  If your research doesn’t appear here, please email repository@rcsi.com and we will work with you to make it available.

Note: if you have not published open access with a CC licence on the publisher’s website, we may be permitted to upload the accepted manuscript.  This is the version of the paper which incorporates the peer review amendments but isn’t the final branded version of record.  For this reason, it is important to keep accepted manuscripts.

If you any queries about this collection, or about submitting to the repository in general, please contact repository@rcsi.com.
