Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: This article tried to comment on how to value research activities critically affected by the COVID- 19 pandemic. This paper proposes a set of standardizing criteria for evaluating work that was stopped or modified during the pandemic. The post-COVID-19 world we live in is putting us in the position of reconsidering many aspects of our (professional) lives. Some adaptations of research to the new scenario (e.g., more extensive use of technologies, higher involvement of participants in collecting their data) will be necessary to continue advancing in research and avoiding losing momentum in the post-pandemic era.
