Application to join Bioline International

Bioline International seeks to provide reliable, sustainable access and increased visibility to a variety of bioscience journals published in the developing world, with the hope of diminishing the South to North knowledge gap and improving the international exchange of scientific information. With a focus on important international issues such as tropical disease, women's and community health issues, biodiversity, the environment and international development, Bioline accepts applications from journals across the developing world. Journals that wish to participate in the Bioline International project must submit an online application, meet inclusion criteria, and be ready and willing to work actively with the Bioline International staff. Bioline International recognizes that journals, editors and staff from different areas of the world have access to varying degrees of technology and training, and thus the degree of involvement will vary from journal to journal. Please review the Bioline International Journal Selection & Inclusion Policies for more information.
