Paris, FRANCE – February 22, 2008 – EBSCO Information
Services (EBSCO) has recently joined forces with Hasselt University
Library, Belgium, and the IODE (International Oceanographic Data and
Information Exchange) programme of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic
Commission of UNESCO (IOC) to develop a global Open Science Directory.
The Open Science Directory, which utilizes EBSCO’s A-to-Z
®
locator product to provide access to useful scientific information
needed in many of the world’s developing nations, has originally been
developed by EBSCO and Hasselt University Library based upon a request
by marine information management experts collaborating within the
framework of the IOC's IODE programme.
Available via
the Internet at no charge, the Open Science Directory provides
developing regions a comprehensive search tool for all open access and
special program journal titles. Designed to enhance access to these
collections by providing direct links to journals and articles in the
EBSCO A-to-Z title database, the Open Science Directory offers
immediate access to approximately 13,000 scientific journal titles,
with an objective of 20,000 titles midway through development. Among
the main open access collections in the Open Science Directory are
DOAJ, BioMed Central, HighWire Press and PubMed Central, and special
programs HINARI, AGORA and OARE. INASP-PERI and eJDS will be added in
the near future [
