Research4Life: HINARI: About HINARI

Research4Life is the collective name for four programs – HINARI, AGORA, OARE and ARDI – that provides developing countries with free or low cost access to online academic and professional peer-reviewed content.

What is HINARI?

Research4Life (R4L) is a public-private partnership of the World Health Organization (WHO), along with major publishers and various other organizations.  The partnership’s goal is to reduce the scientific knowledge gap for developing countries by providing free or low cost access to peer reviewed scientific knowledge.
