If your country is a so called LOW INCOME COUNTRY, your institute/ university might be eligible to receive free access to The ISME Journal via: "The Access to Research Initiative (HINARI)". This provides free (or very low) cost online access to the major journals in science, amongst which The ISME Journal, to not-for-profit institutions in developing countries.
