Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ means Frequently Asked Questions. This part of the platform deals with common problems you may encounter.

It is essential to us that you register with the platform. This is because we need to show to donors the number of people that have signed up. Without it, we will simply not be able to continue this free service for you. In future, you will only be able to access certain parts of the site if you are logged in. Takes a few seconds and makes a big difference for us...

No - you will never have to pay anything for the information displayed on this site, nor for anything (comments, blogs, etc.) that you post. Advertising (like job announcements) will be charged unless you work and live in a malaria-endemic country. Rates are shown elsewhere on this site. 

You can find the archived weekly newsletters from 2007-2009 here.

At MalariaWorld we scan hundreds of electronic Tables of Content (e-tocs) every month, to deliver to you the best service possible. However, from time to time, an article may slip our attention, particularly if it is published in a journal that not normally has malaria-related content.
 
If this happens, contact us (see 'About us' page for email details) and we will immediately put your article in our database and publish it in the next newsletter.
 

It seems not important to log in to the platform, as all content can be read without doing so. However, you can only write something or comment on what you read if you log in. Without logging in, the platform will remain a one-way stream of information, which is what we hope to avoid. 
 
Second, you cannot read comments people make without logging in.
 
If you log in for the first time, most browsers (explorer, google chrome, etc.) will give you the ability to save your log-in name and password. If you do this, you will not have to re-type your name and password every time you log in. Simple, safe, and easy.
 

Yes, that's why the platform exists in the first place. We invite you to write blogs (or articles, whatever you wish to call contributions). This can be done at no cost. If you wish to draw attention to your work, a particular study or project, or even want support from others to solve technical issues, etc., feel free to write.  
 
We encourage both newcomers in the field of malaria as well as long-term professionals, to write about malaria.
