Enhancing India’s Research Landscape – Role of the Web of Science with ‘One Nation, One Subscription.’

The “One Nation, One Subscription” (ONOS) initiative is poised to transform India’s research ecosystem by democratizing access to high-quality scholarly resources for academic and research institutions nationwide.

By removing access barriers, ONOS fosters an inclusive research culture, empowering researchers, educators, and students from all regions.

However, with this expanded access comes the challenge of navigating an overwhelming volume of academic content, much of which may not be directly relevant to every researcher’s specific area of study.

The ability to efficiently filter, evaluate, and synthesize relevant research becomes paramount in maximizing the potential of the ONOS initiative.

Clarivate Web of Science platform can be pivotal by providing a trusted, interdisciplinary research discovery and evaluation environment.

Its curated, citation-based database ensures researchers access only high-quality, impactful studies for precise literature reviews and evidence-based insights.

Advanced features like citation mapping, trend analysis, and research performance metrics help identify emerging trends, evaluate impact, and uncover collaboration opportunities.
