HINARI and AGORA: Providing access for researchers in developing countries

Abstract

This article briefly describes two schemes, Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative (HINARI) and Access to Global Online Research in Agriculture (AGORA), which enable up to date scientific and clinical literature to be distributed via the World Wide Web to individuals in developing countries at zero or minimal cost as a result of agreements between publishers. © 2005 by The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
