Tweet is about relevant research being lost in the massive influx of papers published about COVID-19 because the importance of a paper is not always explicit. 

University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

Steven Nono tweets about the importance of science communication with so many papers being published

Analysis of Steven Nono tweet

Journals are not the best venue for communicating insights from COVID-19 research due to information overload. Researchers who are prepared to communicate insights from papers are needed. (It is not clear if Nono is referring to communication to the public or other researchers. See “Potential problem of including Steven Nono tweet” node.)

Hypothesis 1 of Steven Nono tweet

A collaborative graph structured knowledge sharing and management platform, which facilitates information sorting through community endorsements, can help researchers find the most significant and relevant insights from COVID-19 research.

Hypothesis 2 (solution) of Steven Nono tweet 

It’s not clear if Nono is referring to scientific communication of COVID-19 research to the public or to other researchers. Is he suggesting that journals are not the best venue for communicating to other researchers (because research is “being lost in the sea of journal publication”) which is why “front-facing researchers” are needed? Or are front-facing researchers simply for communicating science to the public?
