The AGORA initiative celebrates its first anniversary
03/Feb/2005The AGORA initiative to provide free or low-cost science journals was launched on October 14, 2003 and in its first year of existence has seen significant increase in user participation as more publishers have agreed to provide online access to scientific journals on food and agriculture.
The partners involved in the AGORA initiative gathered in London for the HINARI-AGORA Partners Meeting on 29th November 2004 to take stock of progress to date and reviewed future prospects of AGORA and the parallel initiative for human health, HINARI. The meeting was attended by twenty representatives of the publishing partners, and by representatives of FAO and WHO and their collaborators. The agenda included issues such as: review of status, improvements to the website, training, promotion, and evaluation of impact.
