The coronavirus pandemic(冠状病毒流行病)is a terrible crisis, of course. But it also presents an opportunity to change the way that research is conducted and shared. The way that researchers respond to COVED-19 right now can serve as a blueprint for that future. Scientists publishing data, ideas and information relating to the coronavirus pandemic on ResearchGate, a professional network that advocates open research, push against the old patterns of scientific culture.
Researchers are far more likely to post early — stage research on the websites than we've traditionally seen in other industries. We're seeing people publish shorter, briefer content, and more figures. It's really exciting to see researchers upload more and more preprints(预印本).The urgency of this crisis encourages the global community of researchers to share more freely and work across industries, even as borders remain closed.
The way that research is confirmed and shared hasn't changed much over the past decades, or perhaps the last century. We still rely on mysterious systems of peer review(同行评审)and the in- person conference is still a main means of knowledge exchange. The COVED-19 crisis is challenging both: one reason is that it is too slow (it can take six to nine months for a scientist's primary results to be peer-reviewed and appear in a journal), and the other, it is no longer safe. We need to try new ways to do things, in real time, and the ideas that work in this time of crisis will serve us well in the future.
At ResearchgGate, we constantly work to improve scientific productivity to enable much-needed breakthroughs. This crisis encourages us to do our best to support researchers in becoming more efficient and more open. We need to connect with all the actors in science to further this change: funders, publishers, institutions and even nations need to come together and reimagine what science could be and how it could drive the development of better societies.
The future of science is surely international, interdisciplinary (跨学科的)and open. Through the COVID-19. efforts from some organizations stand out as leading the way, in bringing national donors, charities and companies together to solve problems. There are also many examples of interdisciplinary and international cooperation that give us hope for advancing a new culture of science. ResearchGate's own COVLD-19 community page is designed to encourage interdisciplinary cooperation during the coronavirus pandemic.
The tools that we develop through the COVID-19 crisis must equip us to work together across borders to face future crises. Our collective (共同的)actions in the face of climate change, for instance, have been inadequate so far. Let's use this crisis to learn how to make science better, and let's continue these efforts beyond the crisis, together. This moment is an opportunity to pave new paths that we'll follow tomorrow.
12. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Scientists often publish unfinished reports
B. Scientists have worked across borders during the crisis.
C. Scientists share their research results more freely now
D. Current research cannot meet the needs of dealing with the crisis
13. What does the author think of the peer review system?
A. It can consume a large amount of time
B. It is a rare way of knowledge exchange
C. It will play an important role in the future
D. It is helpful in protecting significant research results
14. What do the researchers expect of the future of science?
A. Scientists will make great progress in medicine.
B. Scientific reports will be produced more quickly
C. It will value interdisciplinary and international cooperation
D. Large institutions will lead the way in scientific breakthrough
15. What may be the best title for the text?
A. How does science affect our life?
B. How is COVID-19 changing science
C. The role of science in conquering the COVID-19 crisis
D. The tools that we develop through the COVID-19 crisis
