Pricing tiers

Transparent institutional pricing

Institutional pricing is based on the number of actively publishing affiliated authors and adjusted by country income category to support broader access.

Institution size High-income countries Middle-income countries Low- and lower-middle-income countries
Access adjustment Standard rate 20% access adjustment 50% access adjustment
Small institution Less than 200 active publishing authors 3,000€ paid yearly 2,400€ paid yearly 1,500€ paid yearly
Medium institution 200-500 active publishing authors 5,000€ paid yearly 4,000€ paid yearly 2,500€ paid yearly
Large institution 500-1,000 active publishing authors 7,500€ paid yearly 6,000€ paid yearly 3,750€ paid yearly
Extra-large institution More than 1,000 active publishing authors 10,000€ paid yearly 8,000€ paid yearly 5,000€ paid yearly

Country income categories follow the World Bank classification. For pricing purposes, the low-income tier includes both low-income and lower-middle-income countries.

The number of researchers refers to actively publishing affiliated authors, which is typically lower than the total number of people legally associated with an institution. Pricing is based on this active publishing count to align institutional access with research activity.

FAQ

Questions about access

What happens if my institution subscribes?

Researchers primarily affiliated with a subscribing institution receive Connect access automatically. This allows them to review, enrich, and reuse their profiles while the institution gains access to institutional intelligence tools.

How is institutional size calculated?

Institutional size is based on the number of actively publishing affiliated authors identified in ONE, not the total number of employees or legally affiliated individuals.

Can individual researchers use ONE without institutional access?

Yes. Researchers can use the Explorer plan for free or subscribe individually to Connect.

Is ONE only a benchmarking platform?

No. Benchmarking is one workflow within ONE. The platform is designed to help researchers and institutions structure research evidence, improve visibility, understand contributions in context, and support responsible research assessment.

Does ONE create personal accounts for researchers?

No. ONE includes research profiles generated from publicly available scholarly metadata. These are not personal accounts created on behalf of researchers. Researchers can claim access to review, correct, enrich, or manage the information associated with their profile.
