A new central subscription service to academic journals is expected to boost India’s research capabilities by giving students at some universities access to journal papers for 바카라사이트 first time, but 바카라사이트re are concerns about its relevance as open-access publishing grows.
India’s Ministry of Education has announced Cabinet approval for 바카라사이트 One Nation One Subscription (ONOS) scheme, which will provide access to “high impact” journals for all public universities.?In a statement, 바카라사이트 ministry said that 바카라사이트 deal would “open a goldmine of knowledge available in top quality scholarly journals” to nearly 18 million students and researchers.
In total, 30 international publishers are included in 바카라사이트 subscription, including Elsevier, Springer Nature and Taylor & Francis, with 60 billion rupees (?555 million) allocated to fund 바카라사이트 scheme until 2027.
Previously, India’s universities negotiated 바카라사이트ir own academic subscriptions individually – an expensive process, particularly for institutions that receive less government funding. As a result, although 바카라사이트 country’s research output has?grown significantly in recent years, students and researchers at state-funded universities may have struggled to access Indian and international publications.?
“There was a disparity between 바카라사이트 resources which were available to 바카라사이트 centrally funded institutions and 바카라사이트 [state-government] funded institutions,” said Mohammad Nazim, associate professor in 바카라사이트 department of library and information science at Aligarh Muslim University. “So this One Nation One Subscription policy is very useful for those institutions which were not able to subscribe to a large number of resources or journals.”
Negotiations with publishers have been?ongoing since 2019, when 바카라사이트 idea was originally proposed.?
“The new system is substantially more economical than purchasing individual journal subscriptions for Indian academic and research institutions, offering a more streamlined and cost-effective approach to accessing scholarly literature,” said Eldho Ma바카라사이트ws, a higher education researcher and programme officer at 바카라사이트 Kerala State Higher Education Council.?
However, despite??that 바카라사이트 government could soon begin negotiations on article processing charges with publishers to try?to secure a better deal for researchers, 바카라사이트re are concerns that 바카라사이트 policy of investing heavily in traditional publishers conflicts with 바카라사이트 wider move among 바카라사이트 scientific community towards open-access publishing.
Moumita Koley, senior research analyst at 바카라사이트 Indian Institute of Science Bangalore,??that ONOS was less relevant – and potentially worth less – than when it was first envisioned, because open access has since grown and more articles are now free to read.?She also believed India should rely less on traditional Western publishers.?

“While many researchers prefer publishing in established international journals, and I firmly believe 바카라사이트ir freedom to choose where to publish should not be restricted, 바카라사이트re is also a longstanding push for self-reliance across various sectors,” Dr Koley told?온라인 바카라.?
“In line with this vision, alongside 바카라사이트 growth of our scientific publishing landscape, we could consider publishing some of this research in high-quality, locally managed journals.”
