links to free available multi-disciplinary Science electronic information resources

African Journal Archive

The website comprises over 700 issues and 150,000 pages of journal archives of academic, scholarly, institutional, museums, and professional research organizations in Africa.

ArXiv

Ground-breaking pre-print server in selected physics, computer science, maths and neuroscience disciplines. Contains over 500,000 articles. Free access to all papers to all users.

Indian Academy of Sciences

The prestigious peer-reviewed journals of the Indian Academy of Sciences are available online free to all users. Publications cover the physical sciences, life sciences, physics, mathematics, chemistry, earth and planetary sciences, plant sciences, animal sciences, and modern biology, materials science, astrophysics and astronomy, genetics plus the journal Resonance, aimed at improving the quality of science education and teaching.

International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis

A non-governmental research organization conducting inter-disciplinary scientific studies on environmental, economic, technological and social issues in the context of human dimensions of global change, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis' (IIASA) charter stipulates that all its research findings should be freely disseminated worldwide. The full-text of the iIIASA's publications can be downloaded from its website at no charge.

PeerJ

PeerJ provides academics with two Open Access publication venues: PeerJ (a peer-reviewed academic journal) and PeerJ PrePrints (a 'pre-print server'). Both are focused on the Biological and Medical Sciences.

Public Library of Science (PLOS)

PLOS is a nonprofit publisher and advocacy organization founded to accelerate progress in science and medicine by leading a transformation in research communication. PLOS engages in Open Access advocacy, innovation, and publication of scientific research, making articles immediately available for everyone online, free of restrictions. The organization  publishes PLOS ONE, PLOS Biology, PLOS Medicine, PLOS Genetics, PLOS Computational Biology, PLOS Pathogens, and PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases. PLOS is headquartered in San Francisco, CA with additional offices in Cambridge, UK

PubMed Central

PubMed Central is an open access web-based archive of journal literature for all of the life sciences. It is being developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM).

SciELO Scientific Electronic Library Online

The objective of the site is to implement an electronic virtual library, providing full access to a collection of serial titles (from Brazil, Cuba and Chile in a broad range of subjects languages ie Portuguese, Spanish and English), a collection of issues from individual serial titles, as well as to the full text of articles. The access to both serial titles and articles is available via indexes and search forms.

SCIRUS

A specialist search engine for scientific, technical and medial information sources. It offers two types of services: Web sources provide information for which no subscription or online registration is required. Scirus searches the entire Web and excludes sites with no scientific content. Examples of Web sources are university Web sites, learned society pages, scientists home pages, preprint servers, commercial companies, etc. Membership sources are information sources for which either a paid subscription or online registration is required, and often including peer-reviewed scientific information not directly accessible by standard search engines.

Versita Publishing

Academic publisher Versita has a new program of Open Access journals for 100 Emerging Science Journals. The program's focus is on young and rapidly developing fields of science, which have not yet been covered by a designated journal. The emerging topics have been identified in Life Sciences, Chemistry, Medicine, Physics and Mathematics.
