At Faculty of 1000 Ltd we are committed to the ideal of making access to the scientific literature available to all countries. As part of this vision we offer free subscriptions to F1000Prime to institutions in the poorest countries in the world, as part of the World Health Organization’s HINARI program.

Institutes in the following countries are eligible for free subscriptions. These countries have a GNI per capita of less than US$1,600 per annum. To register your institution for free access, visit the HINARI registration page.

We encourage Faculty Members who submit regularly to nominate an institute from a developing country of their choice. Developing countries have a GNI per capita of between US$1,600 and US$5,000. They are otherwise offered substantially discounted prices. If you would like your institution to be considered for sponsorship please email us at info@f1000.com.
