During the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, many academic journals, newspapers, companies, and institutes have made COVID-19 related research and news open access.

Open access (OA) is a set of principles and a range of practices through which research outputs are distributed online, free of cost or other access barriers.

On January 31, 2020, a group of ninety-four academic journals and organizations signed a commitment to make COVID-19 research freely available.

Many newspapers have removed paywalls on COVID-19 related articles, either temporarily or permanently.
