Call for papers on COVID + open hardware for the Journal of Open Hardware

Hello GOSH community,

I’m excited to share with you that a special collection on COVID-19 and open hardware responses, has been launched.

COVID-19 has resulted in hundreds of designs for personal protective equipment (PPE), ventilators, and more by groups around the world, being manufactured by thousands of individuals, community centers, and small and large corporations. The Journal of Open Hardware special collection focuses on open-source response to the pandemic, gathering research describing technical advances through the Hardware Metapapers format but also analyzing the situation from a range of perspectives, including historical, legal, and social.

Articles will be reviewed, processed, and (if appropriate) published online as soon as possible, without delay. Please share widely with your networks: https://openhardware.metajnl.com/announcement/
