INASP, PERI, and other help make the science literature available to developing country researchers
Local and global donor resources strengthen research capacity in developing countries
But, developing world scientists have great difficulty getting their research published

Author’s Editors
Journals have fewer resources to help

Authors must often write in English
Potential mentors are over-committed
