Low and middle income countries initiative

To ensure that non-profit research institutions in Low and Middle Income Countries have access to critical research, Oxford University Press (OUP) participates in a number of free or heavily-reduced rate access initiatives.

Free or deeply discounted access to selected resources is available to established not-for-profit educational institutions from qualifying countries. If you think your institution may qualify, please consider applying for discounted access to our journals and online products.  The following information will help determine your institution’s eligibility for the OUP Low and Middle Income Countries Initiative and outline what access and benefits this could offer to your institution:

• Participating countries and regions – Eligibility is based on the World Bank Rankings, Human Development Index (HDI), and other metrics.

• Article processing charge (APC) waiver policy – Corresponding authors in all countries and regions that are part of the Low and Middle Income Countries Initiative are eligible for a full waiver of publishing fees in our fully open access journals.
