Readers may have heard of the "digital divide", but what about the scientific "digital divide"? The Open Science Directory is attempting to bridge this gap by providing access to a wide range of journals to researchers in both developing and developed countries. Working with the support of EBSCO Information Services and Hasselt University Library, the Open Science Directory provides access to approximately 13000 scientific journals. The Directory includes collections of open access journals and also draws on a variety of other resources, including BioMed Central and PubMed Central. By clicking on the "Open Science Directory" tab, visitors will be redirected to the site's sophisticated search engine. Visitors can browse the list of titles alphabetically, topically, or also create their own detailed search across a number of fields.
