Follow the Science. Back to the Classroom

Dale R. Wagner.  "Follow the Science. Back to the Classroom." Salt Lake Tribune, July 22, 2020.  https://www.sltrib.com/opinion/commentary/2020/07/22/dale-r-wagner-follow/

     There is no shortage of legitimate peer-reviewed research on the topic. Combining the search terms “COVID-19” with “children” and “school closure” resulted in 143 articles in PubMed, a database of the National Library of Medicine. The journal citations that accompany my statements are “open access,” meaning that anyone can view the article online in its entirety without a fee or journal subscription.

     

 COMMENT

     In this editorial the author is using open-access articles in scholarly journals to consider COVID-19 studies.  Many journals have made COVID-19 research publicly available, at least temporarily.  The National Library of Medicine maintains the database that makes these articles easy to find.
