1. The pandemic has caused about 30% decrease in GDP in the USA (Azoulay, P., & Jones, B. (2020))
2. About 80% of on-site researching was canceled because of social distancing(Wigginton 2020)
3. Scientists and researchers are frustrated with reviewing literature during the pandemic.
4. Wildlife in Africa is threatened as a result of consequential financial problems of lower tourism spending and donor funding (Lindsey 2020).
5. Economical and financial problems may improve exposure to and consumption of wild animals, and increase future pandemic risks (Di Marco 2020)
6. Food Security. "COVID-19-related hunger may
well kill more people than direct infection."(Food2020 Nature)
7. Psychosocial health and obesity epidemic as a side effect of lockdown during pandemic is also apprised(Clemmensen 2020 Nature).

Importance of technical solutions to fight against COVID-19

University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

Our CSCW2020 Paper Abstract should be written here.
- The influx of COVID-19 related papers.
- Hard to catch up for the researchers.
- The COVID-19 pandemic needs to be the priority for CSCW practitioners.
- CSCW tech solutions may be able to offer a valuable solution (call for action)

1. INTRODUCTION
		(1) Include Research Questions (RQ)
		(2) Our paper's potential contributions: Our main contributions are that we identified empirical phenomena, the ways in which COVID-19 researchers creatively working -(i.e.) the use of social media, preprint servers, etc.- to move research forward and challenges they have been facing along the way. We also identified how technology service providers in scientific publication arena -(i.e.) preprint servers- have seen the surge in submitted papers since the pandemic, and how they stepped up to the plate to screen out "bad sciences." Our insights should pave the way for galvanizing research-supporting stakeholders into actions and creative solutions to accelerate and assist the COVID-19 research.  
            
  2. RELATED WORK
		(1) Preprint Server
		(2) Peer-Review
		(3) Rapid Dissemination
		(4) Reproducibility, Contradiction, Retraction
		(5) "Science of Science": (Note) To be determined what kind of grounding theory/theories can be applied.

Challenges-- Reading and Evaluating literature during a Pandemic: A call to action

There are some weeks-old efforts do exist. For instance: A search platform with Allen Institute with Google, FB.  But CSCW community may be able to offer a more integrated solution.
