Challenges and Opportunities of Scholarly Publishing Landscape: A Case Study From India - Das - 2025 - Learned Publishing - Wiley Online Library

"Conventional subscription-based models can enable paywalls, narrowing access to knowledge, while open-access models transform discipline by eliminating worldwide barriers to knowledge and making scientific information available for all. A study by Koley and Lala (Koley and Lala 2024) identifies subscription-based journals still possess salient relevance, highlighting requirements for a balance shift toward open-access models. International cooperation, such as Ibero-America, can facilitate better mechanisms for dealing with predatory publishing and enhancing quality scholarship (Wiley Newsroom 2025). Such partnerships can promote an ideal of a diamond open-access approach with equitable quality scholarship. Therefore, although India's ONOS policy is a key short-term objective, constant investigation and adjustment become fundamental for meeting future challenges related to scholarly communication and accessibility in a sustainable manner."
