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 (Group A). In Jan. 2003 it was launched to “low-cost" countries (Group B). The HINARI Programme is a public-private partnership set up by WHO together with major publishers, Yale University Library and Microsoft. HINARI enables developing countries to gain access to one of the world's largest collections of biomedical and health literature. Over 8,500 journal titles, 7,000 eBooks are now available to health institutions in 106 countries, areas and territories benefiting many thousands of health workers and researchers, and in turn, contributing to improved world health. 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. Since that time, the numbers of participating publishers and of journals and other full-text resources has grown continuously. Today more than 180 publishers are offering more their journals. New publishers are continuing joining the programme, and the HINARI collection will continue to grow.

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/en/ 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$ 1000 per institution per calendar year (from January through December). More than 100 countries, areas, and territories are eligible Along the years the eligibility criteria has changed to better accommodate different factors. These changes permitted more countries eligible to the programmes. In 2012 we had 17 countries moved from Group B (low cost access) to Group A (free access). And in 2013 we had 11 countries enter Group B.

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 and visiting faculty, staff members and students are entitled to access and can obtain the institutional User Name and Password. The second eligibility criteria is based on the type of institution. HINARI does not accept registrations from individuals, but only from institutions.
