Scholarly publisher Brill, Netherlands, and INASP have signed an agreement to make Brill journal content directly available through INASP as part of Brill's Developing Countries Program.
Brill content is already included through EBSCO, but starting in 2014, the journal content will also be offered directly through INASP. Brill operates on a global scale and increasingly authors and editors are coming from developing and emerging countries for whom access to peer-reviewed, high-quality academic information is crucial. Offering Brill journals through INASP at discounted pricing will widen the distribution of Brill content and increase the impact of its published research.
The titles available via Brill will be of great value to developing country researchers and policy makers as they comprise key journals in the Humanities, Social Sciences and International and Human Rights Law.
In addition, Brill's Developing Countries Program actively promotes AuthorAID, the global online network that provides support, mentoring, resources and training for researchers in developing countries. Brill draws attention to the AuthorAID service for potential authors and editors from developing countries and at the same time encourages Brill authors and editors to sign up as a mentor supporting these authors in getting published.
