一个国家的经济发展在很大程度上取决于其科学实力和解决公共卫生、传染病、环境管理或工业进步等领域问题的能力。获得研究信息的机会传统上取决于支付能力，这对发展中国家产生了负面影响。一些新的倡议解决了这种不平衡，从财团许可和新的出版模式到开放获取倡议，并有能力满足财政拮据国家的研究需求。开放获取战略的出现，特别是可互操作的机构档案，有可能彻底改变对基本研究的获取。
The economic development of a country depends heavily on its scientific strength and ability to resolve problems in such areas as public health, infectious disease, environmental management, or industrial progress. Access to research information traditionally depends on ability to pay, which has a negative impact on developing countries. A number of new initiatives address this imbalance, ranging from consortial licensing and new publishing models to the Open Access Initiative, and have the ability to meet the needs of research in financially constrained countries. The advent of the Open Access strategies, particularly interoperable institutional archives, has the potential to revolutionize access to essential research.
