Eligibility for Access to Research4Life
Local, not-for-profit institutions in two groups of countries (see list below) may register for access to the publications through Research4Life.
If your institution is an academic, government or research institution in a developing country, you may be eligible to join one or more of the Research4Life Programmes.
Your institution might already be registered with one of the programmes. If so, it can register again for a different programme, but please check the Registered Universities and Professional Schools for the particular programme before proceeding.
