News & Publications

The AAG staff decided at the beginning of the pandemic not to contribute to members' potential anxiety and "information overload" during the COVID-19 pandemic by forwarding on all information we received on COVID-19 from other organisations.

Instead, we decided to:
- Develop a database of grey literature resources (i.e. resources that exist outside the usual academic and commercial channels) related to COVID-19
- Incorporate a COVID-19 related activities or publications from other organisations that adopt an evidence-based approach in AAG's Thursday Three and/or via our News feed where relevant
