One of the biggest problems for researchers in developing countries is slow download speeds due to low bandwidth. <\/p>\n<p>Low bandwidth can render access impossible even if there are theoretically thousands of research papers available for download, because publisher websites can simply be too complex and capacity-hungry for the IT infrastructure available in developing world institutions.<\/p>\n<p>To combat this problem, we\u2019ve chosen to develop our mobile web site CJO Mobile (CJOm) to double as a low bandwidth access point. Because of its streamlined nature it is much easier and faster to access CJOm via low bandwidth than CJO. Researchers struggling with low bandwidth should therefore access <a href=\"http:\/\/jnls.cup.org\/home.do\" title=\"CJO Mobile\" target=\"_blank\">jnls.cup.org<\/a> instead of <a href=\"http:\/\/journals.cambridge.org\/action\/login\" title=\"CJO\" target=\"_blank\">journals.cambridge.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about CJOm, please <a href=\"http:\/\/journals.cambridge.org\/action\/stream?pageId=6248&#038;level=2&#038;sessionId=F81BB605C9F1ADE4733222A2D8DCA630.journals\" title=\"CJOm\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We work with a wide variety of partners to make all the journals we publish available to researchers in developing countries.
