Published by Shubhaarti Subscription Agency — last reviewed 11 October 2026What a subscription agency doesA library subscribing to forty journals from fifteen publishers deals with fifteen order processes, fifteen invoices, fifteen renewal dates and fifteen activation emails. An agency places those orders as one account: one quotation to approve, one invoice to pay, and one desk to chase when an issue does not arrive.Shubhaarti does not publish journals and does not own the content. Titles are ordered from their own publishers on an institution’s behalf, which is why the catalogue spans publishers instead of favouring one.What an institution receives

A quotation or proforma invoice itemised by title, format and subscription period, in the form a procurement file or tender requires.

One consolidated order covering titles from many publishers.

A renewal calendar, so no subscription lapses in the middle of a session.

Help with access activation, IP registration and missing-issue claims.

Worth checking before you orderTwo checks save money. Confirm the title and its ISSN in the ISSN Portal, so an order names the serial you mean rather than one with a similar name. Then check whether the title is open access, or already supplied to your institution through a consortium: a journal a library can already read is not worth a subscription line.

Shubhaarti is a commercial subscription agency, not a publisher, university, college or examination body.
