Bioline International Efforts to Reduce Communication Disparity

Bioline International is a non-profit international organization that aims to help publish scientific journals in poor countries to shorten the gap between regions. This organization plans to increase the number of aid recipients by six places next year.

At present, Bioline's assistance mainly includes 15 journals from several developing countries such as India, Brazil and Indonesia. There are also 27 journals from other countries in the world. Three of these journals are only published on the Internet. Most of these journals are related to biomedical and environmental issues and have been around for a long time. For example, a periodical called "Menorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz" was published as early as the beginning of the 20th century. This time, Bioline published them through the Internet. Will further expand their dissemination. At the same time, some journals and conference reports will be published on the Bioline site.

Leslie Chan of Bioline International stated that the organization owns its own server. They help publishers convert their publications into electronic formats and publish them online, then sell them personally and collectively. Individual users can search for these electronic journals by subscribing. Group organizations can spend less than US$3,000 to subscribe to the entire contents of Bioline. At the same time, Chan points out that for institutions that developing countries cannot pay for subscriptions, these electronic journals are completely free. . In addition to maintaining Bioline's basic operating funds, all of Bioline's distribution revenue will be returned to the publisher.

Chan revealed that Bioline is currently negotiating with CNSLP and hopes to represent Bioline's services on behalf of 64 universities in Canada. Since Bioline's main user is the library, Bioline plans to negotiate with other associations around the world.

Bioline International currently consists mainly of volunteers, with 4 members from Toronto University, 3 from Brazil and 3 from the United Kingdom. Since Bioline is currently primarily an individual subscriber and there are only two institutional subscriptions, its profit has been negative. They hope to obtain international site licenses and other benefits to achieve self-sufficiency.

Finally, Chan said Bioline's ultimate goal is to help publishers have their own electronic publishing capabilities. On the one hand, Bioline is trying to expand its readership to increase site revenues, so that publishers have the money to purchase their own equipment. On the other hand, Bioline is also trying to start with technology and management to guide publishers on how to conduct electronic publishing. Chen said: “I hope they will eventually achieve self-reliance.” It is encouraging that several of the above publishers currently have this capability.
