Bioline International is a non-profit cooperative that operates an online platform for sharing works by peer-reviewed open access bioscience journals published in developing countries in Africa, Asia, and South America.[1] This includes meta data, abstracts, and individual articles in pdf and HTML (when available).[2][3] Bioline is an international collaboration between the University of Toronto Libraries as stewards, the Reference Center on Environmental Information in Brazil for technical infrastructure, and Bioline UK as a liaison.[4] It was founded by Leslie Chan.
In 2010 Prof. Mary Abukutsa-Onyango spoke about the difficulties of publishing her ideas about Africa's vegetables and fruits. She noted the importance of Open Access at an event at the University of Nairobi Library.[5]
