AuthorAID

AuthorAID is a global network and project dedicated to supporting researchers in developing countries to publish and communicate their work. It provides resources, training, mentoring, and networking opportunities aimed at improving the quality and impact of research from researchers in lower and middle-income countries.

The initiative focuses on strengthening research writing skills, enhancing the ability to navigate the publication process, and improving communication of research findings to a broader audience, including policymakers and the public. AuthorAID achieves this through a variety of methods, including online courses, workshops, mentorship programs, and the provision of access to research resources.

A key aspect of AuthorAID is its emphasis on peer-to-peer learning and collaboration. The network facilitates connections between researchers in developing countries and more experienced researchers, often from developed countries, who can provide guidance and support. This collaborative approach aims to build capacity and foster sustainable research practices within developing countries.

AuthorAID's mission is to reduce global inequalities in research output and impact by empowering researchers in the developing world to contribute to the global knowledge base. It operates under the umbrella of INASP (International Network for Advancing Science Publication), a non-profit organization working to improve access to information and knowledge in developing countries.
