Introduction

1. Before ONOS, access to subscription journals were being acquired through different library consortia of government departments, academic and R & D institutions; and through individual subscriptions by various higher education and R & D institutions.
2. One Nation One Subscription is a timely step towards establishing India in the global research ecosystem by bringing ease of doing research to the doorstep of all students, faculty members and researchers in the government institutions.
3. The One Nation One Subscription (ONOS) intends to acquire national licenses for e-journal/database subscriptions from most of the prominent journal publishers. A total of 30 major international journal publishers have been included in ONOS. All the journals published by these publishers will be accessible to the students, faculty members and researchers of the participating institutions.
4. The Department of Higher Education, Government of India will have a unified portal “One Nation One Subscription“ (https://www.onos.gov.in/) through which the institutions will be able to access the journals.
