READ THE ARTICLE“My research is about the COVID-19 measures and human rights guaranteed by the Japanese Constitution. Since I believe COVID-19 may challenge our understanding of human rights, I wished to publish with F1000Research so that I could share my research findings and the dialogue with peer-reviewers rapidly to the public.

Since many social issues including COVID-19, are changing rapidly, it is important to collaborate, share and discuss knowledge in real time, which was made possible when working with F1000Research.”
