International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP)

http://www.inasp.info/
Profile: The mission of INASP is to “enable worldwide access to information and knowledge with particular emphasis on the needs of developing and transitional countries”. Established by the International Council for Science in 1992, INASP is a charity that works with partners and networks around the world to encourage the creation and production of information, to promote sustainable and equitable access to information, to foster collaboration and networking and to strengthen local capacities to manage and use information and knowledge.
Includes:
1.An important Symposium was held on Friday, 5^th November, 2004 to explore new thinking on ways in which scientific research and dissemination of its results can be improved and become drivers of development. The Symposium, organized by and held at the Blackwell Publishing offices, drew together experts from research, publishing, and information management in developing countries, as well as participants from funding agencies and governments. Sixty-nine participants from 36 countries attended the Symposium, including 26 people from developing countries. Three Latin American countries were represented, 4 Asian countries and 11 African countries, as well as participants from the UK, USA and Europe. The Symposium was cosponsored by Blackwell, EBSCO, Elsevier Foundation, Oxford University Press, Nature, Springer, T&F Informa, Thomson Scientific and John Wiley and sons.

Alma Swan, Director of Key Perspectives, presented research showing that the proportion of internationally indexed scientific articles from outside North America and Western Europe has grown from 25% in 1983 to 50% in 2003, representing over a million peer-reviewed papers. For many countries, the trend is rising with some ‘tigers’ recording massive percentage growth rates that reflect both increasing national

A series of 3-day INASP workshops covering strategic journal planning plus hands-on content management training for publishing on AJOL. Journal editors/publishers and their production staff are invited to the workshops so that both strategic and practical production questions can be raised, discussed and agreed within the supportive learning environment. AJOL training workshop: Senegal, September 2004. A 1-day INASP workshop on managing content on AJOL for CODESRIA publications.

African Journals OnLine (AJOL) is a service to provide access to African published research, and increase worldwide knowledge of indigenous scholarship.

AJOL is a database of African-published journals, publishing in a range of academic disciplines. The objective of AJOL is to provide a window to the research published within the continent, and give greater visibility to the participating journals, and to the research they convey.

Journals are selected for inclusion on AJOL using the following criteria:

1 – they must be scholarly in content, and contain original research (in addition to other content)

2 – they must peer review their content, and have quality control standards

3 – they must be able to provide all content for inclusion on AJOL (tables of contents and abstracts) in electronic format (e.g. Word files)

4 – they must guarantee they have permission from the authors to allow AJOL to operate a document delivery service

5 – they must be published within the African continent. This means that management of publishing strategy, any business development and production operation must be run from an African country.

AJOL includes information about each participating journal, including aims and scope, contact details and general information. It also provides Tables of contents and abstracts (where available) for all articles published within these journals. In the future, some full text articles will also be available.

All the material on AJOL is free to view, search and browse. Full text documents can be ordered (in print or by email) – see more information about the document delivery service by clicking here.

AJOL is not a publisher: we only provide a service to the journals by hosting their content online, and actively promoting the website to encourage discovery of their titles and their articles.

Continuous monitoring and evaluation helps to assess the impact of AJOL – some figures are given below:

• 
  During 2003, almost 4000 people registered to use the service
  
• 
  During 2003, over 650 document delivery requests were fulfilled
  

This is a four-component program of support to information production, access and dissemination for research partners in developing and transitional countries using new information and communication technologies. Key objectives are to:

(1) Facilitate the acquisition of international information and knowledge through electronic Information and Communication Technologies

(2) Strengthen and develop access to journals in developing countries as a medium for the dissemination of results from national and regional research

(3) Provide awareness or training in the use, evaluation and management of electronic information and communication technologies

(4) Enhance skills in the preparation, production and management of journals

- develop the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Information System (SYSTEM)

- develop the Health Sciences Information System in Brazil through a Network that operates in a decentralized way and in which its members participate in cooperative activities;

- create, improve and disseminate, using the VHL, scientific and technical information sources in electronic format and in other supports to meet the needs of governments, health systems, education and research institutions, health professionals, and the general public in publishing, preserving, accessing and using information;

- coordinate, operate and promote the bibliographical control, dissemination, evaluation, and improvement of the scientific and technical literature published in the countries of the REGION in both paper and electronic formats; this literature is indexed by the LILACS System (Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences)

- implement a broad, fast and cooperative access to the international scientific and technical literature published in paper or electronic format.

- promote, using the VHL, the search, development and dissemination of scientific and technical information sources to meet the information needs of specific communities of users, such as authorities, politicians, lawgivers and health managers, researchers, teachers and students, physicians and allied health personnel, community agents, communication professionals, and the general public;

- disseminate, through the VHL, factual and numerical databases operated on the Internet by national health information systems; and

This is an FAO initiative which gives access to journals covering agriculture, fisheries, food, nutrition, veterinary science, and related biological, environmental, and social sciences to institutions in the world's poorest countries. Those with an annual per capita GNP of less than $1000 can gain free access, and those with a GNP of $1000 to $3000 can gain access for a nominal fee that is then invested in local training initiatives. Alongside several other publishers, Blackwell Publishing, have contributed more than 120 titles to this initiative. The goal of AGORA is to increase the quality and effectiveness of agricultural research, education and training in low-income countries, and in turn, to improve food security. (There are other initiatives like this outside the health field – not included in this list of initiatives.)

International Association is an EU funded initiative helping to promote the scientific potential across the New Independent States (NIS). Blackwell Publishing have provided access to our medical and science journals via INTAS at specially discounted rates.

There are many webpages like this one that link to the various resources, such as PERI, HINARI, etc. to help developing countries access information.

Oxford University Press offers developing countries free (or greatly reduced rate) access to many of our journals via our Developing Countries Online Collection offer. The offer is made in conjunction with the International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP). This offer is available for established not-for profit educational institutes from qualifying countries and provides access to an Online Collection of journals

This is a University of Toronto research project in which electronic access to UofT e-resources is provided and monitored. With the addition of Bioline, a resource that makes full-text articles of certain medical journals form the developing world available, the University of Toronto is exceptionally well-positioned to build health research capacity around the world. The Ptolemy library will designate a number of medical researchers and clinicians in the developing world as research affiliates of the University of Toronto. Participants will be provided with my.access accounts that allow full access to the Library's electronic resources

SPARC

http://www.arl.org/sparc/resources/pubres.html

SPARC®, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, is an alliance of universities, research libraries, and organizations. The coalition was an initiative of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) started in 1997 to be a constructive response to market dysfunctions in the scholarly communication system. These dysfunctions have reduced dissemination of scholarship and crippled libraries. SPARC serves as a catalyst for action, helping to create systems that expand information dissemination and use in a networked digital environment while responding to the needs of academe. Leading academic organizations have endorsed SPARC.
