<span class="s1" style="">In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Allen Institute for AI has partnered with leading research groups to prepare and distribute the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19), a free resource of over 47,000 scholarly articles,
including over 36,000 with full text, about COVID-19 and the coronavirus family of viruses for use by the global research community.</span></p>

<span class="s1" style="">Several search engines have been built for the dataset, including CORD-19 Explorer, Covidex and so on (<a href="https://cord-19.apps.allenai.org/" id="LPlnk367108" previewremoved="true"><span class="s2" style="">https://cord-19.apps.allenai.org/</span></a>).</span></p>

<span class="s1" style="">At HKUST, we have built a topic-based index to the non-commercial subset of the data (<a href="http://aipano.cse.ust.hk/covid/noncomm_1000/" id="LPlnk144215" previewremoved="true"><span class="s2" style="">http://aipano.cse.ust.hk/covid/noncomm_1000/</span></a>).<span class="Apple-converted-space">
