What evidence-based medicine researchers can do to help clinicians fighting COVID-19?

•The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 pandemic as a global public health emergency.•Research community has responded rapidly, and thousands of articles have been published already in scholarly journals, making it difficult for clinicians to sift through the evidence and find answers.•Methodologist researchers and relevant international organizations have addressed the pandemic immediately. However, these efforts are hindered with avoidable problems and massive duplication of effort.•We believe that research methodologists can be very useful now to clinicians. The COVID-evidence project can be an example of how to establish a living dialog of methodologists and clinicians to fight COVID-19 pandemic.
