ABSTRACT
Since Covid-19 was declared a pandemic, academic researchers have tried to maintain the continuity of scientific processes and overcome the difficulties of field work;this motivated the exploration of new forms of data collection adapted to the changes imposed by the pandemic. The methodology used was exploratory-documentary, focused on the new media used by academic research and the way in which the instruments have had to adapt to the social limitations imposed on nations. The results show that thanks to teleworking and information and communication technologies, it has been possible to continue collecting data from virtual environments, which has involved reconsidering criteria and tools. It is concluded that the existence of renewed forms of data collection is marked mainly by the media, highlighting that the use of social and academic networks has expanded its borders, which has been used by researchers to have an approach to reality in the contemporaneity. © 2023, Universidad del Zulia.

ABSTRACT
Immediacy in times of crisis involves sharing research findings expeditiously, the socialization of results must be intertwined with ethics and scientific responsibility. The purpose of the article is to examine the immediacy in the response of high impact information science journals to the Covid-19 pandemic. An empirical-inductive approach was assumed, 88 high-impact information science journals were evaluated classified in the 2 main Scopus quartiles (Q1: 43 and Q2: 45), their web pages were revised, establishing as criteria: evidence of information on covid-19 published at the date in open access. 17 journals referring to the pandemic were finally identified, some extending the deadlines, others calling numbers and others granting remote access to their institutional subscribers. However, in terms of immediacy, only two of them have immediately published the documents received and present content related to Covid-19 in open access. It is concluded that it is necessary to improve the response of magazines in other areas, since it is just in the first scenario, it remains to wait for the new normal. © 2021. All Rights Reserved.
