Multilingual Matters/Channel View Publications are to offer free electronic
access to journals for institutional subscribers in countries of "low human
development" as defined by the Human Development Index (see below). The
company will also offer subscriptions at a substantially reduced rate to
institutional subscribers in countries of "medium human development".

Altogether libraries in over 100 countries will be able to receive our
journals either completely free of charge or at substantially reduced cost.

Multilingual Matters is one of the world leaders in research on
multilingualism and minority language rights. Recently, under the
Channel View Publications imprint, the company has been developing a number
of publications on sustainability in tourism, agriculture and transport. We
firmly believe that adequate access to academic materials is a vital aspect
of sustainable development.  By increasing access to our publications,
Multilingual Matters believe we can help academics in these countries to
further realise their potential as equal members of the international
academic community. We hope that our new pricing policy will encourage
other publishers to adopt similar schemes to support academic activity in
the developing world.
The new policy will apply to all of the company's existing journals, as
well as any new journals being developed and will be implemented from the
subscription year 2002 onwards. The pricing structure will be calculated
according to the Human Development Index (HDI) published annually by the
United Nations Development Project (http://www.undp.org). A list of
countries graded according to the HDI is provided as an appendix to this
press release.

The full pricing structure will be as follows:

Countries of Low Human Development

Electronic version: Free of charge.
Print version (if required): £20.00

Countries of Medium Human Development

All journals (print or electronic): £50.00
Depending on the particular journal, this represents a discount of between
40% and 80% on our standard prices.

Countries of High Human Development
Standard cost as published in our journals price list.
