OPEN STREAM ON COVID-19 EMERGENCY
Community Message:
The current circumstances that we are experiencing, with the massive spreading of Covid-19 from the Far East to Europe, to the US and to the rest of the world, motivate us to publish a special issue of Substantia dedicated to the coronavirus epidemic that is ravaging our societies.
As the situation changes very quickly, we will create an “Open Stream” section of Substantia to speed up the publication.
