The WHO and the Open Society Institute initiated HINARI Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative. Peter Suber, the publisher of the "Free Online Scholarship" newsletter, summarizes the initiative thus: "Under the program, the world's six largest publishers of biomedical journals have agreed to three-tiered pricing. Countries in the top tier pay full price.
Of 500 bottom-tier eligible institutions, more than 200 have already signed up. Additional publishers have joined this 3-5 years program and most biomedical journals are already on offer. Mid-tier pricing will be declared by January next year. HINARI will probably be expanded to cover other scientific disciplines.
