English abstract

This chapter reviews the processes and dynamics that researchers and other scientific production stakeholders have engaged in and experienced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It includes the analysis of the challenges around research, publishing, and scientific dissemination, as well as the management of research data (as, for example, the reinforcement of open data, open science, and data repositories), the role of open access, commercial publishers, and academic libraries. We also include a critique of scientific journals’ dynamics, such as the explosion of the literature related to COVID-19 research and editorial issues and the related challenges to editorial processes and peer review, as well as the retractions that have occurred.
