Digital Access to Knowledge and Women in Science
Economic Research Working Paper No.88
Scientific progress relies on access to prior knowledge, yet costly access to academic literature can hinder researchers, particularly in marginalized positions of academia and developing economies. This paper examines the impact of free or lower-cost access to scientific literature on gender representation in research. Leveraging the staggered adoption of the Hinari program, which provides digital access to health science research, we analyze its effects on women's participation in research production and academic publishing across more than 600 institutions in 80 countries.
