Abstract

Objective: In this commentary, we suggest that the unprecedented global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic provides a compelling reason for researchers to stretch beyond usual limits and find new ways to engage in global collaborations.

Methods: We point to data that have emerged on the mental health and economic consequences of the pandemic to illustrate the extent to which these common issues cross national borders. There is high likelihood that these burdens will continue to persist long after the pandemic is declared "over."

Results: We urge researchers, particularly those from countries with higher income economies, to share resources to increase international collaborative research efforts. We present a case study of an ongoing project and offer some lessons learned for individual investigators.

Conclusion: Global problems require global solutions. The COVID-19 pandemic is a global crisis that should prompt researchers to engage in science and research across national borders.

是时候扩大研究合作以应对COVID-19的全球影响-评论

目的:在本评论中，我们认为，COVID-19大流行的前所未有的全球影响为研究人员提供了一个令人信服的理由，要求他们超越通常的限制，寻找参与全球合作的新途径。方法:我们指出了关于大流行的心理健康和经济后果的数据，以说明这些共同问题跨越国界的程度。在宣布疫情“结束”后，这些负担很可能会持续很长时间。“结果:我们敦促研究人员，特别是来自高收入国家的研究人员，分享资源，加强国际合作研究努力。我们提出了一个正在进行的项目的案例研究，并为个别调查员提供了一些经验教训。结论:全球性问题需要全球性解决方案。新冠肺炎大流行是一场全球性危机，应该促使研究人员跨越国界从事科学和研究。
