    NAAC compliance, clarified.

    Does Infinite Publishers guarantee NAAC accreditation or scores?

    No. Infinite Publishers' services contribute to strengthening evidence for NAAC criteria. We do not guarantee NAAC scores, grades, or accreditation outcomes. Editorial and accreditation decisions remain solely with NAAC.

    Which NAAC criteria do you support?

    Our evidence compilation primarily supports Criterion 4.3 (Library & Learning Resources) and Criterion 3.4 (Extension Activities). We compile COUNTER reports, subscription records, and access documentation aligned to these criteria.

    What is a COUNTER 5 report?

    COUNTER (Counting Online Usage of Networked Electronic Resources) is the international standard for reporting e-resource usage. COUNTER 5 is the current version. We provide COUNTER 5-compliant usage statistics for your subscribed digital resources.

    How long does the compliance audit take?

    A full audit typically takes 2–4 weeks depending on the number of subscriptions, publishers involved, and existing documentation. Rush timelines can be discussed with your account manager.

    Do you work with institutions that don't currently subscribe through Infinite Publishers?

    Yes. We can audit existing subscriptions regardless of procurement source and compile NAAC-aligned evidence from your current access records and usage data.
