Social scientists have an important role during a pandemic. We can do this much better through cooperation. This international list tracks new research about COVID 19, including published findings, pre-prints, projects underway, and projects at least at proposal stage.
If you share the tracker, please link to this page, so we have redundancy in the case of any Google Sheets problems.

How to Use the Spreadsheet
Adding New Entries
Please add your entry via the Google form above rather than typing directly into the spreadsheet.
Reviewing and Accessing the Spreadsheet
To review spreadsheet contents, please download the spreadsheet rather than reading/sorting/filtering online if you can. This will help us minimize errors and prevent the sheet from being overwhelmed with readers.
If you do view the spreadsheet online, please close the tab when you are finished so other people can view it.
Responsibility to Update
Please, if you add an entry, we ask that you take responsibility to update the link as the status of your project changes. You can make changes directly to the spreadsheet (but be careful not to over-write other entries). Thanks!
