Supporting research in developing countries

As part of our commitment to supporting scientific research globally, we participate in a number of key programmes that offer several ways for researchers in developing countries to gain access to our journals for little or no cost.

EIFL and PERii

eifl

EIFL, an international not-for-profit organisation that works in collaboration with libraries in more than 45 developing and transition countries in Africa, Asia and Europe, EIFL enables access to knowledge for education, learning, research and sustainable community development.

PERii

PERii is the second phase of INASP's Program for the Enhancement of Research Information, which focuses on the needs of people in developing and emerging countries. PERii supports global research communication and promotes the provision and use of electronic journals at zero or low cost to developing and transitional countries.

If your institution is in an eIFL or PERI country please contact your country coordinator to find out how to gain access to our titles.

eJournals Delivery Service

eJDS

The majority of our journals are also available free of charge to scientists in the developing countries listed below via the eJournals Delivery Service (eJDS) of The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste. The eJDS is intended to facilitate access to scientific literature for researchers at institutions with low band width internet facilities. To access eJDS, please complete an application form.
