Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative
http://www.healthinternetwork.org/src/eligibility.php
The Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative (HINARI) is
a new initiative to provide free or nearly free access to the
major journals in biomedical and related social sciences, to
public institutions in developing countries. Starting in 2002 with
over 1000 journals from the world's 6 largest publishers, HINARI
is part of the Health InterNetwork.
Led by WHO, the Health InterNetwork aims to strengthen public
health services by providing public health workers, researchers
and policy makers access to high-quality, relevant and timely
health information, via the Internet. It further aims to improve
communication and networking.
Access to journals
Some 1500 journals from 6 major publishers: Blackwell, Elsevier
Science, the Harcourt Worldwide STM Group, Wolters Kluwer
International Health & Science, Springer Verlag and John Wiley
will be available from January 2002 for at least 3 years.
Additional publishers will join in a second phase of the project
in mid-2002. In May, for example, the journal "Nature" was added.
Who is eligible?
Institutions in countries with GNP per capita below $1000 are
eligible for free access to the literature. Institutions in
countries with GNP per capita between $1000-$3000 will be eligible
for access at reduced prices.
What you will need
Participating institutions need computers connected to the
Internet with a high-speed (56k baud rate or higher) link. To
