 ## Introduction
 
-Sharing data as openly and FAIRly as possible, is key in accelerating research progress. The importance of this was perhaps never more widely acknowledged than during the COVID-19 pandemic, when it was done at unprecedented levels in order to mitigate the impacts of the pandemic on society. In early 2020, multiple partners worked together to launch [the European COVID-19 Data Platform](https://www.embl.org/news/science/embl-ebi-launches-covid-19-data-portal/) to facilitate FAIR and open sharing. Part of this Platform was the {% tool "covid-19-data-portal" %}, which was the primary web interface to the Platform.

-A network of national portals, similar to the {% tool "covid-19-data-portal" %}, was established to facilitate data sharing by individual countries. Sweden was the first country to launch their national portal; the Swedish COVID-19 Data Portal was launched in June 2020. The scope of the national portal has since expanded and shifted in accordance with the needs and interests of the research community. This showcase describes the Portal, now known as {% tool "swedish-pathogens-portal" %}, and how the content and scope has changed over time. The showcase could enable others to establish national/local portals in a health emergency, like a pandemic, and provide insight as to how the scope of those portals can be changed to ensure preparedness for future emergencies.

 ### Portal history and scope
 
-In early 2020, The [European Commission funded and initiated the European COVID-19 Data Platform](https://www.embl.org/news/science/embl-ebi-launches-covid-19-data-portal/) to facilitate data FAIR and open sharing. Multiple partners contributed to the Platform, including European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Life. In April 2020, EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and partners launched the [European COVID-19 Data Portal](http://covid19dataportal.org/) as the primary web interface to the Platform. A network of national portals was then quickly established to facilitate data sharing by individual countries.

A network of national portals was then quickly established to facilitate data sharing by individual countries. The focus of these portals was primarily on making data and information that was more specific to a given country (e.g. country-specific resources and funding opportunities) available.
 
-Sweden was the first country to launch their national portal; this Portal originally launched as The Swedish COVID-19 Data Portal in June 2020. The Portal was developed on [assignment from the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet).](https://www.vr.se/english/just-now/news/news-archive/2020-06-03-new-national-portal-makes-research-data-on-covid-19-accessible.html). The [initial scope of the Portal was to facilitate and promote FAIR and open sharing of COVID-19 data](https://www.covid19dataportal.se/updates/first_year/) originating from Swedish research institutions, universities, and other organisations. All of the code for the Portal, including the [code needed to generate the website](https://github.com/ScilifelabDataCentre/covid-portal), the [visualisations shown on the Portal](https://github.com/ScilifelabDataCentre/covid-portal-visualisations), and [other scripts used to collect data](https://github.com/ScilifelabDataCentre/covid-portal-scripts), were shared openly. This enabled others to make use of the code, and it was quickly reused by e.g. {% tool "estonian-covid-19-data-portal" %}, Spain, and Poland to create other national portals.

This enabled others to make use of the code, and it was quickly reused by other countried to make their own national portals e.g. {% tool "estonian-covid-19-data-portal" %}.
 
-In 2022, the Portal became part of the [SciLifeLab Pandemic Laboratory Preparedness programme](https://www.scilifelab.se/pandemic-response/pandemic-laboratory-preparedness/), which is based on government funding awarded to SciLifeLab ([Research proposition Prop. 202/21:60](https://www.regeringen.se/rattsliga-dokument/proposition/2020/12/forskning-frihet-framtid--kunskap-och-innovation-for-sverige/)). At this point, the scope of the Portal was expanded to include data and information about not only COVID-19, but also pandemic preparedness in general. This reflected a shift in the needs and focus of the research community towards pandemic preparedness and away from COVID-19 specifically. The Portal was thus renamed ‘The Swedish COVID-19 and Pandemic Preparedness Portal’. At this time, the Portal continued working with multiple national and international organisations in order to determine how the research community should transition resources established for COVID-19 to ensure future pandemic preparedness.

-In 2023, the Portal was rebranded as ‘{% tool "swedish-pathogens-portal" %}’, as it became the first national node of the {% tool "pathogens-portal" %}. This was in line with ongoing efforts across the global research community to ensure that resources developed for COVID-19 could be maintained for future pandemics. These efforts are key in ensuring a faster and more efficient response in the event of future outbreaks or pandemics. The scope of the Portal now extends to all topics related to pandemic preparedness, including general infectious disease biology.

 ### Portal aims
 
 - To provide research data management support in order to make research data related to pandemic preparedness and pathogens as open and FAIR as possible.
 - To collate data, tools, and services focused on pandemic preparedness and pathogen data.
-- To promote data related to pathogens, their effects on the host, and methods to treat and prevent the disease from the researchers working at Swedish institutions and universities.
+- To promote data from the Swedish research community related to pathogens, their effects on the host, and the methods to treat and prevent infectious disease.
 - To collaborate with communities at both the national and international levels.
-- To act as a user case for how research communities can be built around common themes.

 ## Who is the SHOWCASE intended for?
 
-The primary target audience for the {% tool "swedish-pathogens-portal" %} is the Swedish research community. The Portal also has multiple secondary audiences, including individuals involved in industry, healthcare, policy making, as well as the general public, primarily in Sweden. The content of the Portal is also often viewed internationally, and can be made use of by those based in other countries.

 - To find information about services related to pandemic preparedness in Sweden (e.g. [the Swedish COVID-19 Sample Collection Database](https://pathogens.se/biobanks/), which details biobanks samples related to COVID-19).
-- To promote data and/or code shared as openly and FAIRly as possible (e.g. creating dynamic, interactive [data dashboards](https://pathogens.se/dashboards/), and publishing data-centric news articles about the work, known as data highlights](https://pathogens.se/highlights/).
-- To find information about upcoming events related to pandemic preparedness (including events on pathogen biology, and topics such as antibiotic resistance).
-- To enable the identification of potential collaborators for research projects (e.g. by checking lists of ongoing research projects).

 ## How to reuse this resource
 
 All of the code related to this resource has been made openly available. The [code needed to generate the Portal](https://github.com/ScilifelabDataCentre/covid-portal) has been reused multiple times as the basis for other national COVID-19 Data Portals. It could, in principle, be reused to generate other types of portals, including national nodes of the {% tool "pathogens-portal" %}.
 
-Code has also been made available for features that have been integrated into this resource. This includes, for example, the visualisations presented in our data dashboards, for which all code is available in a separate GitHub repository. Not only could this code be used to create similar features for use on the web, the code could also be used to generate visualisations for research publications and other promotional materials. Another example would be the code underlying the biobanks sample collection database, which could be used as a basis for other databases.

-A large amount of data has been collated on the web portal itself e.g. data related to Swedish publications on COVID-19. This can be downloaded and reused for other purposes, such as for machine learning.
