Leading knowledge publisher Taylor & Francis has announced a new collection of key books and journal articles, supporting the global response to the current Ebola outbreak. Curated by expert editors, the featured content is free for everyone to access, making trusted research available to all frontline workers, researchers and policymakers.

Drawing on the breadth of the Taylor & Francis publishing program across disciplines, the collection features not only critical medical and health research but also humanities and social science contributions, essential for addressing the societal, ethical, and policy impacts of the disease.

Across seven sections, the resource brings together articles and book chapters covering transmission and diagnosis; vaccine strategy; treatment; health communication; and international relations. Context for the latest outbreak is provided by resources examining the origins and history of the disease.

Leon Heward-Mills, Managing Director Academic and Chief Content Officer at Taylor & Francis, said: “Publishers play a key role in putting the latest peer-reviewed research into the hands of those who can apply it on the ground and that’s especially critical during health crises. The new Ebola resource features some of the most important contributions from experts across diverse disciplines, offering valuable knowledge to those tackling this devastating disease.”

The Ebola resource is available on the Taylor & Francis website.
