Research4Life provides institutions in low-and middle-income countries with online access to academic and professional peer-reviewed content. We aim to improve teaching, research and policymaking in health, agriculture, the environment and other life, physical and social sciences.
Since 2002, Research4Life has provided researchers at more than 11,500 institutions in over 125 lower- and middle-income countries with free or low-cost online access to up 203,000 leading journals and books in the fields of health, agriculture, environment, applied sciences and legal information.
We do this in partnership with organizations in the fields of scholarly communications, technology and international development: WHO, FAO, UNEP, WIPO, ILO; Cornell and Yale Universities; the International Association of Scientific, Technical & Medical Publishers and more than 200 international publisher partners.
There are five content collections: Research for Health (Hinari), Research in Agriculture (AGORA), Research in the Environment (OARE), Research for Development and Innovation (ARDI) and Research for Global Justice (GOALI).
Our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Research4Life. Words are inadequate to express how this is key to fill the gaps that existed in our library collection over the past years.
