Abstract
Social pressure to obtain solutions to the COVID-19 crisis has generated an urgent demand on researchers for certainties to guide decision-making. But generating robust evidence takes precisely time, and accelerating study timelines undermines their reliability for a number of factors - from using smaller samples to relaxing peer review or premature release of results to the media. communication - which act as biases and induce the publication of results that are, in fact, false positives. This project aims to evaluate, using recently created rigorous analytical techniques, the reliability of the studies published during the crisis to see if the explosion of scientific production that has characterized this period has led to a higher rate of weak results precisely when a solid knowledge.
