Research in the context of coronavirus disease 2019: Considerations for critical care environments




Free full-text article

In this editorial, I discuss some key considerations of undertaking research in critical care environments in the context of COVID-19.

In summary, research during disasters and public health emergencies, such as COVID-19, should be carefully considered before it is commenced. First, for individual researchers, this means embarking on high-quality, collaborative, and meaningful research, resisting the temptation to quickly grasp low-hanging research, which has the potential to be expedited at the jeopardy of quality. Second, for organisations that facilitate research through funding support or access to potential participants, supporting research with high scientific rigour should be maintained and strategies implemented to facilitate collaborative research particularly when it becomes apparent that duplication of research efforts is imminent. Finally, journals must be agile so that they can quickly respond to the need for rapid dissemination of information while still maintaining established standards of good publishing practice.
