The World Health Organization (WHO)'s access to research programme, Hinari, has significantly improved access to scientific knowledge in low- and middle-income countries, according to a WIPO study that reveals that institutions produced up to 75% more health science publications after joining Hinari.
The Hinari programme aims to provide open access to a wide range of journals, e-books, and other resources in multiple languages, supporting researchers and students at non-profit institutions, such as universities and public research institutes. It is a flagship programme of the Research4Life (R4L) initiative, which focuses on health sciences.
The study shows that research institutions in the Caribbean, central Asia, Europe and Latin America benefited the most from Hinari in generating new scientific knowledge, with academic paper output in these regions increasing by as much as 80–100%.
