Clarivate Analytics – A Snapshot
We have a 60-year legacy of curating the most authoritative knowledgebase, including the Web of
Science, a custodian of 100 years’ worth of research.
Over 7,000 leading academic, government institutions and corporations use Web of Science data
for search, discovery and evaluation.
The IP & Science division of Thomson Reuters was sold as a standalone business to Onex Partners
in October 2016, to form a more agile new company, Clarivate Analytics.
We are now an independent company in our own right, with over 4,000 employees around the
world. Our values are Customer Focus, Performance and Trust.
