A publicly available interactive dashboard providing real-time data about COVID-19 research outcomes.

The dashboard was created using Google Data Studio and it uses as back end the public COVID-19 dataset from Dimensions.

A detailed walkthrough explaining how to recreate this dashboard is available on this page:


Background

In March 2020 Dimensions made available a COVID-19 dataset on BigQuery free for anyone to access. The dataset is updated on daily basis and it includes all published articles, preprints, datasets, grants and clinical trials that reference COVID-19. The intent was to help the research community to stay up to date in this fast-moving situation, and greatly reduce the time that would otherwise be required to collate this information from many disparate sources.

Technology

  • Google Data Studio for the dashboard
  • Dimensions COVID-19 dataset on Google BigQuery
