Technical and Workflow Diagrams

The Novel Coronavirus Research Compendium (NCRC) used Kotahi to streamline and optimize its workflow for evaluating and summarizing COVID-19 research.

Previously reliant on spreadsheets, the team transitioned to Kotahi for a more efficient, collaborative, and scalable approach to managing the high volume of pandemic-related studies. At the time they still used their spreadsheets to publish to WordPress as this was before Kotahi had a CMS. The same group is now using Kotahi with the CMS for another project to be documented soon…

more coming soon…
