THE POLICY AIMS TO REPLACE A SYSTEM OF INDIVIDUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS WITH LICENCES NEGOTIATED BY THE GOVERNMENT

- Vrinda Tulsian

India's delayed unified subscription scheme to access top academic journals for centrally-funded institutions is set to kick in from 2025, although academics and experts worry that the country is moving counter to the global trend, which is towards open-access publishing and that it may end up paying more than necessary.

The so-called "One Nation One Subscription" policy to provide centralized digital access to top academic journals for universities and researchers, aims to replace the current system of individual and consortia-based subscriptions with government-negotiated national licences.
