We now have opened the Eligibility page. Note the descriptions
of the Group A (free access) and Group B (low-cost access). The
countries, areas and territories in each group are listed at the
bottom of this page. Group B institutions that cannot or choose
not to pay the annual fee will have free access to some resources.
This page lists the publishers

available to Group B institutions
that cannot or choose not to pay
the annual fee.
Login to the HINARI website by clicking on
LOGIN.
Note: If you do not login into HINARI, you
will not get access to the full text articles.
We will need to enter our HINARI User Name and Password in
the appropriate boxes, then click on the Login button. To have
access to the full text articles, you must properly sign in.
If you do not use the Internet Explorer Web browser, this slide
will not appear (as of 01 April 2014). If you use Internet
Explorer, you will continue to have a two-step login process.
Repeat the Login process on this
2nd page and you will be redirected
to the HINARI Contents page.
Once logged-in, you will be taken into the
Access the content sub-page of the website.
Note the ‘Logged in from: Test Account’
message. That line will list your country. This
proper login also can be confirmed by the
hinarilogin.research4life.org/... url
If you fail to use the Login page, you will have a
second option on the Content page.
Note the key access choices – Journals
collection, Books collection, and, on the
horizontal frame, Subjects, Languages,
Publishers and a link to the Training Materials.
Also note the Register for HINARI link to a stepby-step guide plus other information.
In this example, we opened the Browse
Subject ‘HIV/AIDS’ listing (without the proper
login) and clicked on the Accessible Content
option. Of the initial17 journals titles listed,
only 2 are Full access to this content for
everyone while there are 15 that are not
accessible You must log in to access HINARI
to have full access to this content.
Journals can be accessed by title from an
alphabetical list.
For this exercise, click on ‘L’ from the A-Z list.
Note: there also is a View complete list of
journals option although this drop down menu
does not have hypertext links to the journals.
We have displayed the ‘L’ journal list. Click on the title for The Lancet. The default is
the Accessible Content page. This and the All Items displays will be discussed in
subsequent slides.
The green box notes access to the contents of the journal for you while the ! Notes
specific journals that are titles not included in publishers’ offer to your institution. Note
that the ‘years of volumes’ available are listed after the journal title.
Accessing journals by title 4
Another window will open at the
journal publisher’s website usually
with access to the current issue.
For each article, there are three options:
[Abstract], [Full Text] or [PDF] formats.
You can get the article in Full Text or HTML
format that includes links to sections of the
article, bibliographic citations or related articles.
With the PDF or Portable Document Format, you
will receive a scanned image of the article. This
format is similar to the traditional print option .
To download a PDF document, you will need a
copy of the Adobe Acrobat program which can be
download freely from the Adobe website:
www.adobe.com
A helpful hint for searching within any letter of
the Journals content A-Z list is to click on Control
F. This opens a new search box. In the S
listing, we have put surgery into the box and
there are 19 titles with this word. To view other
titles, use the scroll up and down buttons.
Full-text Article Access Problems
Using the Journals collection A-Z list, we are
attempting to access a full-text article from
the Blood.
Although HINARI users should have access
to this journal, we will use this as an example
of ‘what could go wrong.’
Access problems can be caused by:
1) failure to properly LOGIN with the institution's User Name/Password
2) technical problems at the Publisher's website
3) or problems with local systems (configuration of user institution’s
firewall, configuration of browser)
4) Titles not included in publishers’ offer
Consequently, you may see a message on the Publisher‘ denying
access and requesting LOGIN or payment for the specific article.
Note: Your HINARI institutional ‘User Name/Password’ will NOT work.
To confirm that you have used the institutional User Name and
Password correctly, check that you have the ‘Logged in from’
message.
This also is confirmed in the address or URL search box of the
web browser. If properly ‘authenticated’, you will see a URL that
begins with: hinarilogin.research4life.org/... url
Institutional Firewall Problems
In this situation, a proxy server is blocked by the
institution’s firewall. Please check with your
computer department to make sure the
institution’s firewall does not block proxy servers.
The computer system must be able to access
HINARI’s proxy server. Insure that you are
permitted access to the IP 158.232.242.4
through your institution’s firewall. Otherwise, you
will not be able to login properly and access
HINARI’s full-text articles.
NOTE: If you have problems when you are accessing a full-text
journal from HINARI/PubMed (not via the links from the principal
HINARI page), there is one other step to check.
If you are unable to access an article from a journal via the ‘Link
Out’ icons in HINARI/PubMed, double check this by going to the
title in the Journals collection A-Z list and also verify the years of
volumes available.
When viewing any page of the Journals collection A-Z list, the green box
notes if your institution has access to the contents of the journal. The ! notes
the titles not included in the publishers’ offer to your institution.
If you are denied access to a full-text article despite the green box, follow
the instructions in the next slide. Note that the ‘years of volumes’ available
are listed after the journal title.
This is the example of the screen capture that was
attached to the email message for [email protected]
For the JEM article, it noted that This item requires a
subscription. The publisher requested that the user
Sign in (User Name and Password for individual
subscription) or Purchase Short-Term Access.
Note: this screen capture includes the URL of the
journal. This information is invaluable to the HINARI
staff who will try to resolve the access problem.
You can create a screen capture by clicking on the
Print Screen key while viewing the webpage of the
journal. Then paste (edit/paste or control/v) the
material into a word processing document and send
as an attachment.
Double check that you have completed the HINARI
LOGIN. If this is not the problem, notify HINARI staff
([email protected]) so that they can communicate with the
Publisher and resolve the problem. This example is an
email received from a HINARI user in Uganda.
Note: make sure you include your institutional User Name,
the name of the journal(s), publisher(s) and other details.
Also include a screen capture that contains the URL
(Internet address) of the journal (seen next slide).
This additional screen capture notes that the
journal is listed on the J page of the Journals
collection A-Z list, that the requested journal issue
is available and that, by the green box, the
institution should have access to the journal.
If the HINARI authentication system had worked
properly, the user would have had access to the
journal article. Updated 2013 11
We now will discuss one other
potential access problem. This is in
HINARI/PubMed searches. If you
use the Abstract format from the
Display Setting, the links to full-text
articles will be displayed.
PubMed uses the ‘Link Out’ software to access
the full text articles. If this does not work
properly, you will not have access to the article
and be asked enter an individual user name and
password or pay a fee.
Follow the same procedures listed in the
previous slides. At times, an article will not be
accessible from HINARI/PubMed but is available
from the Journals collection A- Z list.

contents that details the contents of each topic.
From the HINARI Content page, you
also can open the Search inside
HINARI full-text through database
and article searching, Reference
sources and Free collections lists.
Note: Many of these resources are
underutilized by HINARI users as
most individuals concentrate on
obtaining full-text journal articles.
Via clicking on the Database and article
searching link, we have opened the Browse
databases A-Z list.
Similar to other access points, there are the
Accessible Content and All Items listings
that depend on the Publishers’ exclusions.
Now we have clicked on the
Reference Sources link and opened
the Browse reference sources A-Z list.
Many of these resources contain fulltext information on a variety of topics.

evidence for health care decision making. It includes
numerous access options including via keyword, MeSH terms
and category listings. Cochrane Library is one of 3 sources of
information on evidence-based practice in HINARI.

menu, you can access other free e-journal
gateways and be able to obtain full-text
articles. We will examine one of these –

HighWire Press 3
This is the HighWire Press initial page. From this
site, we can locate articles or journal titles or
subjects and set up an email alert.
The Free Access to Developing Economies link is

Free full-text content link.
There is a link to both pages in the Free
Collections drop down menu on HINARI’s
Contents page.
Note: You can access the HighWire Press
full text articles since this publisher
identifies computer (IP) addresses from
eligible countries. This is the ONLY
exception to not needing to use your
institution’s User Name and Password.
You now have entered the Free
Access to Developing Economies list
of HighWire Press.
As noted, the access is based on the
