Wiley-Blackwell, the STM and scholarly publishing business of John Wiley & Sons, Inc, US, and The Cochrane Collaboration have announced that they have made The Cochrane Library available with free one-click access to all residents of countries in the World Bank's list of low-income economies. The Cochrane Library is a collection of databases that contain high-quality, independent evidence to inform healthcare decision-making.
Access to The Cochrane Library for low-income countries will be via Wiley-Blackwell IP recognition, a system which recognises the country a user is in. Several other countries and regions already have access to this service, which is paid for by government agencies or external organistions. This includes residents of Australia, India, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, Sweden, and the UK, among others.
In addition, free access to low-income countries is available directly via www.thecochranelibrary.com and HINARI as well as through INASP beginning in January 2008.
