New model would replace institutional subscriptions, but is subject to publishers’ cooperation
The Indian government will attempt to negotiate nationwide subscriptions to scientific journals, according to a report in Nature.
Researchers advising the government as it drafts its latest science policy, say that the proposed arrangements would mean institutions no longer paying for individual subscriptions. Instead, the government would broker deals with scientific publishers to provide access to articles for everyone in the country.
