  • Indian government's 'One Nation, One Subscription' scheme aims to provide equitable access to scholarly journals in public institutions.

India's "One Nation, One Subscription" (ONOS) plan aims to streamline access to scientific research by implementing a unified subscription model for all publicly funded research institutions. This initiative, announced by Union Minister Jitendra Singh, seeks to reduce the financial burden on individual institutions by centralizing the procurement of scholarly journals and publications. Under ONOS, the Department of Science and Technology (DST) will negotiate with publishers for bulk subscriptions, potentially saving costs and ensuring that all researchers have access to necessary literature regardless of their institution's financial capabilities. The plan also addresses the issue of high subscription fees and restrictive access policies by publishers, promoting a more equitable distribution of knowledge. This move is part of a broader effort to enhance India's research ecosystem, making it more inclusive and efficient.
