Publishers
Publishers throughout the world play a vital role in collecting, validating and disseminating information within their local environment and internationally. INASP works with publishers in developing, emerging and developed countries to enable global access to published information.
Through the Programme for the Enhancement of Research Information (PERI), INASP cooperates with publishers in the developed world to facilitate access to their publications within developing and emerging countries. Please click the link for more information and to view a list of publishers in PERI.
INASP also maintains a Directory of Resources, which contains information and links to complementary programmes to PERI, e-resources that are open access so available to all researchers, and to e-resources that are freely available to researchers in qualifying developing and emerging countries. To find out what resources are available to you, please select your country from the country finder to the right of this page.
INASP collaborates with publishers in the developing and emerging countries to build sustainable models for their businesses, and to disseminate their publications more widely. To achieve this, we enable training, and provide online and print resource guides, and informal advice. INASP also encourage and support networking and the development of collaborative models to promote efficiencies and cost-sharing.
