Chinese Journal of Lung Cancer participated in the prestigious philanthropic project Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative (HINARI). Chinese Anti-Cancer Association,Chinese Antituberculosis Association and Tianjin Medical University General Hospital are also listed as the SOCIETY PARTNERS of HINARI.

The initiative itself is a major aspect of the work of the Health InterNetwork project which was introduced by United Nations' Secretary-General Kofi Annan at the UN Millennium Summit in the year 2000. The project aims to strengthen public health services by providing public health workers, researchers and policy makers access to high-quality, relevant and timely health information through an Internet portal.

The HINARI Programme, set up by WHO together with major publishers, enables developing countries to gain access to one of the world's largest collections of biomedical and health literature. Over 6400 journal titles are now available to health institutions in 108 countries, areas and territories benefiting many thousands of health workers and researchers, and in turn, contributing to improved world health. Many of the world's leading scientific publishers are offering online access to high-quality medical and related sciences journals for a symbolic price of $1000 per year, beginning with a six-month free trial. All fees received from institutions eligible for participation in this project will be re-invested for on-site training. Each publisher has been free to determine which countries and which journals they include in HINARI.

About Health InterNetwork

The Health InterNetwork(http://www.who.int/hinari/en/) was created to bridge the "digital divide" in health, ensuring that relevant information - and the technologies to deliver it - are widely available and effectively used by health personnel: professionals, researchers and scientists, and policy makers. Launched by the Secretary General of the United Nations in September 2000 and led by the World Health Organization, the Health InterNetwork has brought together public and private partners under the principle of ensuring equitable access to health information. The core elements of the project are content, Internet connectivity and capacity building.
