Frequently asked questions

The ADA NSW Knowledge Centre has compiled a list of frequently asked questions so you can quickly find the answers you need. View by topic/question below. If your question isn’t featured, use our Ask our Curator online request form or contact us.

Where can I find clinical/scientific research on COVID-19?

The amount of COVID-19 related scientific literature being generated is enormous, not to mention the amount of exposure it is receiving in popular media.

In order to help you obtain as much, or as little, of this scientific/medical literature as you need, the ADA NSW Knowledge Centre has curated a relatively small number of websites that are extracting COVID-19 specific research and presenting it, usually free of charge in full text, to the general public. Click here to view.
