Worldwide inequality in access to full text scientific articles: the example of ophthalmology
We invite you to check the result of a large international collaboration effort to examine the inequality regarding access to ophthalmology research around the world, published in PeerJ.com
Abstract: The problem of access to medical information, particularly in low-income countries, has been under discussion for many years. Although a number of developments have occurred in the last decade (e.g., the open access (OA) movement and the website Sci-Hub), everyone agrees that these difficulties still persist very widely, mainly due to the fact that paywalls still limit access to approximately 75% of scholarly documents. In this study, we compare the accessibility of recent full text articles in the field of ophthalmology in 27 established institutions located worldwide.
