Background HINARI Access to Research in Health programme provides free or very low cost online access to the major journals in biomedical and related social sciences to local, not-for-profit institutions in developing countries. HINARI was launched in January 2002 for “free access” countries, areas and territories (Group A). In 2003, it was launched to Group B countries, areas and territories with “low-cost access". The HINARI Programme is a public-private partnership set up by WHO together with major publishers, Yale University Library and technical partners. HINARI enables developing countries to gain access to one of the world's largest collections of biomedical and health literature. HINARI was launched in January 2002, with some 1500 journals from 6 major publishers: Blackwell, Elsevier Science, the Harcourt Worldwide STM Group, Wolters Kluwer International Health & Science, Springer Verlag and John Wiley, following the principles in a Statement of Intent signed in July 2001.

HINARI Online portal to access information on health and related social sciences Coordinated by WHO and Yale University Currently, more than 5 800 registered institutions Up to 14,000 journals / 47,000 books / 100 other information resources / 175 publishers partners [June 2016] http://www.who.int/hinari In July 2014, HINARI has up to 13 000 e-journal titles, 29 000 online books, and 70 other information resources available to health institutions in more than 100 countries, areas and territories benefiting many thousands of health workers and researchers, and in turn, contributing to improved world health. Since 2002, the numbers of participating publishers and of journals and other full-text resources has grown continuously. Today more than 170 publisher partners are offering their information resources. New publishers are continually joining the programme, and the HINARI collection will continue to grow.

HINARI Website This is the HINARI Website. We also have Spanish, French, Russian and Arabic versions of the site. We have a News Section which we encourage our users to review. On the right column we have links to Research4Life and sister programmes websites: AGORA : Access to Research in Agriculture OARE : Access to Research in the Environment ARDI : Access to Research for Innovation

Eligibility (1) Country eligibility is based on four factors: Total GNI (World Bank figures), GNI per capita (World Bank figures), United Nations Least Developed Country (LDCs) List and Human Development Index (HDI). Detailed information: http://www.who.int/hinari/eligibility/Details_eligibility/en/index.html If your institution is in a Group A (free access) country, area, or territory, then HINARI is free. If your institution is in a Group B (low-cost access) country, area, or territory, HINARI costs US$ 1500 per institution, per calendar year (from January through December). One payment is enough to have access to one or all of our programmes. Currently more than 100 countries, areas, and territories are eligible Over the years the eligibility criteria has changed to better accommodate different factors. These changes also permitted more countries to be eligible to the programmes. In 2012 we had 17 countries moved from Group B (low cost access) to Group A (free access). In 2013, we had 11 new countries in Group B. In 2014, 2 new countries joined the programme. Each year, individual publisher partners may customize the list of countries having access to their contents.

Eligibility (2) Eligible categories of institutions are: national universities research institutes professional schools (medicine, nursing, pharmacy, public health, dentistry) teaching hospitals government: ministries and agencies national medical libraries locally based non-governmental agencies All permanent staff members, students and faculty are entitled to access and can obtain the institutional Username and Password. The second eligibility criteria is based on the type of institution. HINARI does not accept registrations from individuals, but only from institutions.

Who is Eligible for R4L Programmes? This slide notes the location of Group A countries (blue) and Group B countries (orange). In 2014 there are 116 countries. The same eligibility criteria is used for all Research4Life programmes: HINARI, AGORA, OARE and ARDI. An institution must register separately for each programme.
