Researchers, educators, policymakers, and medical practitioners in developing country institutions have historically suffered from a lack of access to advanced and up-to-date peer-reviewed scholarly literature. Access to this information is an essential element in strengthening local teaching and research, improving local medical and agricultural practices, and empowering local experts to find solutions to local health, environmental, social, economic, and food issues.

AxonDAO LLC wants to play active role in several important initiatives which help to close this information divide. This includes participating in programs that provide free or low-cost online access to research in developing countries, providing support for information literacy and research skills training, and helping to strengthen local publishing and authorship in developing countries.
