Objectives of Research4Life (R4L) To connect developing world researchers with the international scientific community To reduce the ‘publishing gap’ and improve the quality of locally produced articles and journals Ultimately – improve health, food security and environment in relation to Millennium Development Goals of 2015 In this initial discussion, we will have an overview of HINARI and its partner programs. If your institution includes programs that would benefit from either agricultural research (AGORA) or environmental research (OARE) e-journals, you can register for these. Each program requires a separate registration and, for Group B countries, the $1500 payment. The following slides will summarize each project.
For further information on all four programs, go to the url listed at the top of this slide. Each program has the same eligibility but your institution must register for each program separately.

Login to the HINARI website by clicking on LOGIN. Note: If you do not log in into HINARI, you will not get access to the full text articles. Log-in to the HINARI website by clicking “HINARI LOG IN”
Workshop User Name/ Password Please remind to the workshop participants that a training material should never be published online with their login details.
We will need to enter our HINARI User Name and Password in the appropriate boxes, then click on the Login button. To have access to the full text articles, you must properly sign in. Since the migration to a new authentication server (Jan. 2014), we strongly recommend use of Chrome or Mozilla. If you use Internet Explorer, you will need to login twice.
If you are using Internet Explorer, repeat the Login process on this 2nd page and you will be redirected to the HINARI Contents page.
Further Login Instructions All the R4L programmes, use the same login page. In order to work efficiently, the browser needs configure to “Clean the Cache memory”. To log off and go to another R4L programme, you need to close the browser completely – to clean the cache. We strongly recommend not to bookmark this connection page. It is always preferable to link to the HINARI portal itself which will have the right link – even if there are any future changes to the authentication server.
Once logged-in, you will be taken into the Access the content sub-page of the website. Note the ‘Logged in from: Test Account’ message. That line will list your country. This proper login also can be confirmed by the hinarilogin.research4life.org/... url
If you fail to use the Login button from the HINARI Website, you will have a second option on the Content page. Note the key access choices – Journals collection, Books collection, and, on the horizontal frame, Subjects, Languages, Publishers and a link to the Training Materials. Also note the Register for HINARI link to a step- by-step guide plus other information.
In this example, we opened the Browse Subject ‘HIV/AIDS’ listing (without the proper login) and clicked on the All Items tab. Of the initial17 journals titles listed, only 2 are Full access to this content for everyone while there are 15 that are not accessible You must log in to access HINARI to have full access to this content. This is an example of a list of journals when a user has not completed the login procedures. This clearly limits the number of journals that can be accessed as there is a long list of white boxes that signify no access. GC: This is the “All Items” tab, already changed above
Journals can be accessed by title from an alphabetical list. For this exercise, click on ‘L’ from the A-Z list. Note: there also is a View complete list of journals option although this list does not have hypertext links to the journals.
We have displayed the ‘L’ journal list We have displayed the ‘L’ journal list. Click on the title for The Lancet. (Lancet, The) The default is the Accessible Content page. This and the All Items displays will be discussed in subsequent slides. The green box notes access to the contents of the journal for you while the ! Notes specific journals that are titles not included in publishers’ offer to your institution. Note that the ‘years of volumes’ available are listed after the journal title. The Lancet that is available to all HINARI countries is the one published by The Lancet itself and not the one from the Elsevier collection. This was a special arrangement with the publisher.
Another window will open at the journal publisher’s website usually with access to the Archive page. GC: This is the correct page of The Lancet.
For each article, there are three options: [Abstract], [Full Text] or [PDF] formats.
You can get the article in Full Text or HTML format that can include links to sections of the article, bibliographic citations or related articles.
With the PDF or Portable Document Format, you will receive a scanned image of the article. This format is similar to the traditional print option . To download a PDF document, you will need a copy of the Adobe Acrobat program which can be download freely from the Adobe website: www.adobe.com
A helpful hint for searching within any letter of the Journals content A-Z list is to click on Control F. This opens a new search box. In the S listing, we have put surgery into the box and there are 19 titles with this word. To view other titles, use the scroll up and down buttons.

After the title of the journal, the available volumes/issues are added. Note that we are looking at the Accessible Content tab for an institution with full access – so there are many parasitology journals listed.
By clicking on a journal title, you will open the journal in a new window: Journal of Parasitology.
For the Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases journals, we have opened the All Items tab for an institution with some publishers exclusions. Note the white box with the exclamation point – for journals that cannot be accessed.
To find journals by language of publication, click on the Languages bar in the horizontal frame. The Languages drop down menu appear and we will choose French.
An alphabetical list of French language journals is displayed. The ‘green’ box notes the access status for your institution. Note: The editors decide the languages accepted by the journal. Some include articles in multiple languages.
