Abstract

We examine the implications of lowering barriers to access to scientific publications for science and innovation in developing countries. Specifically, we investigate whether and how free or low-cost online access to scientific publications through the UN-led Access to Research for Health (Hinari) Programme leads to more scientific publications and clinical trials of authors affiliated with research institutions in developing countries. We find that free or reduced-fee access to health science literature increases the scientific publication output and clinical trial output of institutions in developing countries by about 41% and 21%, respectively. We also investigate the Hinari effect on scientific input, as measured by backward citations. Our results indicate that – while Hinari-related papers account for about 9% in total references on average – Hinari increases the average number of Hinari-related articles in total references by about 1 percentage point.

期刊介绍: Research Policy (RP) articles explore the interaction between innovation, technology, or research, and economic, social, political, and organizational processes, both empirically and theoretically. All RP papers are expected to provide insights with implications for policy or management. Research Policy (RP) is a multidisciplinary journal focused on analyzing, understanding, and effectively addressing the challenges posed by innovation, technology, R&D, and science. This includes activities related to knowledge creation, diffusion, acquisition, and exploitation in the form of new or improved products, processes, or services, across economic, policy, management, organizational, and environmental dimensions.
