Wiley-Blackwell, the STM and scholarly publishing business of John Wiley & Sons, Inc., US, has announced that an additional 88 journals and 24 non-journal resources will be available through the three United Nations sponsored Research4Life programmes - HINARI, AGORA, and OARE. These programmes provide developing countries with free or low cost access to and training for academic and professional peer-reviewed content online.
Research4Life is the collective name given to HINARI, AGORA, and OARE, the three public-private partnership programmes of WHO, FAO, UNEP, Cornell and Yale Universities and the more than 130 science publishers led by the International Association of STM Publishers. Together with technology partner Microsoft, Research4Life seeks to help achieve the UN's eight Millennium Development Goals by reducing the gap in scientific knowledge between industrialised countries and the developing world.
With the additional products included in 2011, 85 percent of Wiley-Blackwell journals will be available through at least one of the Research4Life programmes. Several non-journal reference resources will also be made available through Research4Life, including Essential Evidence Plus (EE+) all Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews (WIREs) and all Current Protocols.
