Research4Life

Providing developing countries with free or low-cost access to peer-reviewed content online

As a partnership of the WHO, FAO, UNEP, WIPO and over 180 publishers, the aim of Research4Life is to reduce the knowledge gap between high-income countries and low/middle-income countries by providing access to scientific research.

As part of our commitment to supporting the chemical sciences around the globe, we have partnered with Research4Life to offer researchers in eligible countries full access to our current journals.

This means that if you work at a registered institution in one of these countries, you now have access to all journals the Royal Society of Chemistry publishes online.

Join over 8,000 institutions who are using Research4Life to close the knowledge gap.
