<div>Hi Dan,<br>
<br>
You may have this already, but just in case, as they are by
no means well known enough: the JSTOR Developing Nations
Access and African Access Initiatives both offer
reduced-cost or free access to all or most of the JSTOR
content to all academic and non-profit institutions in the
80 countries in the lower tier of World Bank economic
ratings and in all of Africa (they are two separate
initiatives and these criteria overlap significantly):<br>

<div>There are also a variety of programs to make the archives
available to other groups and individuals. <br>

intense media attention JSTOR has received, it's a topic I've
spent some time investigating.)<br>

<br>
I'm on the executive council at Force11 (<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://force11.org/"
target="_blank">http://force11.org/</a>). This is an
organisation interested in the future of scientific
publishing, and especially questions like Open Access
business models and executable/Open Data.<br>
<br>
A question that has come up recently there involves what we
might broadly call incubator initiatives: i.e. initiatives
that involve sharing best practice in, support for the
development of, or other community building activities for
scientific and scholarly publishing.<br>
<br>
I know of a number of such initiatives in the Humanities and
Social Sciences (e.g. Erudit, <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://revues.org" target="_blank">revues.org</a>,
some of the work at the MLA), but all of them are located in
High Income Economies and they tend to operate with that
context in mind. I've recently seen a number of lectures
talking about differences in how Science is published in Mid
and Low regions (particularly at Force11's great "Beyond the
PDF 2" conference, recently held in Amsterdam).<br>
<br>
Does anybody know of similar initiatives focused
specifically on publication and dissemination issues in Mid
and Low Income regions? Or focussing on geography rather
than income, specifically in Africa, Latin America,
Caribbean, China? I'm as interested in Scientific publishing
and humanities, and within the Humanities both DH and
outside that into more traditional fields.<br>
<br>
I should say I'm speaking solely for myself here: our
discussion at Force11 got me thinking.<br>
<br>
I appreciate any tips people might be able to supply.<br>
