The SciELO Network (Scientific Electronic Library Online), an open access digital library available in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, enables searches for scientific publications (and their authors) from various disciplines. Created in Brazil in 1997, it now includes collections from 16 countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
Carbon Brief's Global South Climate Database, launched with the support of the Oxford Climate Journalism Network at the Reuters Institute, includes over 1,000 experts from the Global South in the fields of climate science, climate policy and energy. Approximately a quarter of them speak Spanish.
The Organization for Women in Science in the Developing World (OWSD) offers a directory of its members, all scientists in the Global South. The database can be filtered by country and discipline but does not provide direct contact details (OWSD gathers press inquiries via email).
