The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed many inequities. This paper discusses some of those inequities and what they mean for research and knowledge, and starts to consider how they might be addressed.
During April 2020, INASP asked researchers from 94 countries and across the whole spectrum of academic disciplines: “What impact, if any, do you think that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic will have on your research work?”. This paper shares the findings.
This report presents an overview of highlights and key learning from the work on global platforms to support the production, sharing and use of research and knowledge.
As INASP reflects on changes in access to research over the past two decade, this evidence-informed report reviews the current access situation in the Global South and the extent to which access to e-resources published in the Global North can contribute to development impact.
This year’s all-digital annual review takes the theme of organizational change, looking back at the work of INASP and our partners over the past year ahead and looking ahead to the future.
