Bioline International is a not-for-profit digital platform for peer reviewed, open-access bioscience journals published in under-developed or developing countries.

Company Overview
Bioline International is a cooperative project involving two principal parties:
- The Reference Center on Environmental Information (CRIA): based in Brazil, CRIA provides server hosting, administration, and server development on a volunteer basis.
- Bioline International (Toronto): located at the University of Toronto at Scarborough, the Department of Social Sciences and the UTSC Library collaborate to oversee content management, project development and research.

Description
Bioline is directed by Leslie Chan, Senior Lecturer at UTSC's Centre for Critical Development Studies, coordinated by the UTSC Library, and supported by the University of Toronto Scarborough and members. Bioline International is a pioneer in the provision of open access to peer reviewed bioscience journals published in developing countries. These journals contain timely research on public health, international development, tropical medicine, food and nutritional security, and biodiversity. Bioline increases the visibility of this research by making it readily available to researchers across the world.

Bioline is not a publisher, but an aggregator that provides a free platform for journals who wish to participate in the global open access movement.

General Information
Since its inception in 1993, Bioline's activities have cross-cut a number of areas, including content delivery service, technical development, research on the efficacy of open access dissemination and library usage, as well as in education and training.

Bioline continues to be a strong leader in the global access movement and places importance on increasing the visibility of member journals through OAI harvesting projects, such as its partnership with UofT's TSpace repository. You can keep up to date with Bioline's activities by following the Bioline blog, Facebook, and Twitter (@biolineintl).

Note: This Bioline International T-Space community includes contributor journal articles from 2007 onwards. For articles prior to 2007, access the Bioline International Legacy Collection.
