Initiatives Enabling Journal Access

MCrosby's picture

WAYS has often talked about increasing accessibility to journals. As PLoS and other journals have allowed free-access, other journals/publishers are also beginning to increase accessibility. Publishers are now enabling access to biomedical journals through "Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative (HINARI). (See: http://www.who.int/hinari/en/)

Still, in many areas, the lack of physical infrastructure supersedes these initiatives. Hopefully, this may come online in a sustainable manner in the near future.

Thanks Meredith,
They give access to very good journals (Genes and Dev, or the all Trends in XYZ series for instance)

I wonder how these journals will survive such an opening. Is there any regional restriction with the IP?
