Web of Science Research Intelligence: Now welcoming early adopters

June 11, 2025

At Clarivate, we believe research has the power to transform the world for the better. Last year, we announced the development of Web of Science Research Intelligence, a transformational AI-native software solution that enables research institutions to accelerate innovation and showcase societal impact, in close partnership with several institutions around the world. Since that time, artificial intelligence capabilities have evolved at an unprecedented pace, opening entirely new possibilities for how we can analyze, evaluate, and accelerate research—beyond what was imaginable when we first conceptualized the product.

As we move into the next phase of development, our first set of customers will begin using the platform this August, marking a significant milestone in our journey to redefine research intelligence. By embedding advanced agentic AI and deep semantic understanding at the heart of the platform, we are helping transform how research organizations navigate complexity, demonstrate impact and shape the future of knowledge.

Partnering with the research community

Our commitment to collaborative innovation remains at the heart of our product strategy. Developing Web of Science Research Intelligence in close partnership with leading academic institutions ensures that our solution meets the research community’s most pressing needs. By helping institutions enhance their funding prospects and global visibility, cultivate stronger research teams, and solidify their position as leaders in innovation and academia, we’re advancing a shared vision for the future of research.

Alasdair Macdonald, Director of Research and Innovation at Murdoch University, said:
“Murdoch University is proud to be a development partner on this next-generation research intelligence tool. Web of Science Research Intelligence has the potential to transform how we understand and assess research impact beyond the traditional academic impact tracking tools. Tools like this will help us better capture, measure, and demonstrate the real-world value of research, something that sits at the heart of our purpose in our strategic plan Building a Brighter Future, Together.”

Floris van der Leest, Manager of Research Performance Information, Impact, and Systems at the University of the Sunshine Coast, said: “From the outset, being part of a diverse group of universities shaping Web of Science Research Intelligence has been a privilege. Clarivate’s commitment to listening and adapting to stakeholder needs has been inspiring, resulting in an intuitive platform tailored to varied priorities with customized insights and actionable recommendations. Their innovative framework for societal impact, with eight facets blending leading and lagging indicators, is a refreshing, forward-thinking approach to analyzing research outcomes as well as supporting compelling proposals.”

Harnessing the power of agentic AI to deliver actionable insights

At the core of Web of Science Research Intelligence is a deep, semantic understanding of the global research ecosystem—spanning publications, patents, policy documents, funding sources, collaboration networks, and institutional performance metrics. This rich, interconnected data foundation enables a new class of agentic AI tools designed to deliver insights that drive intelligent, actionable research strategies.

By leveraging the agentic AI technologies now available within the Clarivate Academic AI platform, we have built a multi-agent system that integrates decision science, dynamic reasoning, and domain-specific language models within the solution so AI agents can seamlessly orchestrate complex research intelligence workflows. This agentic approach means that Web of Science Research Intelligence doesn’t just provide analytics—it understands context and reasons dynamically to provide intelligence beyond passive insights.

Each agent is designed to carry out complex tasks with minimal user input. By embedding agents in Web of Science Research Intelligence, we’re democratizing access to insight—empowering both advanced analysts and novice users to ask questions in natural language and receive relevant, explainable answers in seconds. The AI agents act as intuitive gateways to the product’s capabilities, guiding users through complex tasks such as discovering emerging research areas, identifying high-impact collaborators, matching researchers with funding opportunities, and evaluating societal impact. At every step, the human remains in control and in the loop—able to validate, refine, and investigate the underlying data—ensuring transparency, mitigating hallucination risk, and building trust in the insight delivered.

Beyond metrics: measuring societal impact

Last year, the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) developed a comprehensive framework for evaluating the societal impact of research structured around eight key facets: Political & Policy, Legal & Governance, Economic, Human Capital, Medical, Social & Cultural, Technological, and Environmental. This framework will be available to Web of Science Research Intelligence users as part of the August release.

Societal Impact Profiles provide both forward-looking and retrospective indicators, offering a nuanced and adaptable view of research impact. The research performance indicators—spanning forward-looking metrics like relevance, collaboration, and transferability, to retrospective measures such as uptake in R&D beyond academia—offer a comprehensive view of how an institution’s research drives societal progress.

The platform also maps research outputs to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) so institutions can evaluate and communicate their contributions towards global priorities such as climate action, good health and well-being, gender equality, and quality education. For both the SDG impact summary visualization and the Societal Impact Profile, users can drill down to view the underlying data and detailed metrics. AI-driven report summaries built on trusted research data can help institutions craft compelling narratives that strengthen funding proposals, improve global visibility, and secure long-term support.

As we approach our first customer release in August, we invite research institutions to join us in shaping the future of research intelligence. Together, we can harness AI to unlock new frontiers in evaluation, drive responsible innovation, and demonstrate the impact of research on society.

UCL Press celebrates 10 years of award-winning open access publishing

June 11, 2025

Launched in June 2015 as part of UCL’s commitment to open research and scholarship, UCL Press provides scholars with the opportunity to publish their monographs, journal articles and textbooks via open access, meaning that they are free to download online anywhere in the world.

UCL Press broke the mould as the UK’s first fully open access university press and over the last ten years has published over 380 scholarly monographs, 11 textbooks and has built a portfolio of 15 scholarly journals.

The pioneering Open Access (OA) programme spans many of the major academic disciplines, from history to philosophy and the sciences to anthropology.

With global collaboration in mind, UCL Press publishes not only UCL authors but also independent scholars and authors from other academic institutions around the world.

UCL Press’s global reach extends to 242 countries and territories, with the United States topping the list of countries with the highest number of downloads, followed by the UK, then India.

The most downloaded title in the UCL Press list continues to be How the World Changed Social Mediaby UCL Professor of Anthropology Daniel Miller and a collective of eight other global anthropologists. The title has been downloaded over 930,000 times in over 227 countries and territories since its publication in 2016.

More recently, UCL Press has also established an open access textbooks programme to provide free, high-quality digital textbooks for students.

Books published by UCL Press have won critical acclaim, including Geographies of Solar Energy Transitions edited by Siddharth Sareen and Abigail Martin, which won the American Energy Society’s Award for Best Edited Book. A Contemporary Archaeology of London’s Mega Events by Jonathan Gardner also won the London Archaeological Prize for the best book about London archaeology.

Marking the occasion, Dr Paul Ayris, Pro-Vice-Provost (Library, Culture, Collections & Open Science) and Chief Executive of UCL Press, said: “From the start, UCL Press was about breaking down barriers. Traditional academic publishing often locks knowledge behind paywalls, with monographs costing academic institutions and the public money and selling just a few hundred copies.

“UCL Press flipped this model of publishing on its head. It was the UK’s first fully open access university press, making OA publishing more accessible to both early career researchers and experienced scholars alike.”

As part of the university’s commitment to an open science future, UCL Press receives funding from UCL to support its open access publishing model and deliver global impact for its publications.

A celebratory 10th Anniversary panel discussion, featuring speakers from the worlds of universities and publishing will take place on Tuesday 10th June 2025.

ASM Partners with Hum to Deploy AI-based Taxonomy

June 4, 2025

Hum today announced that the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), one of the largest life science societies, has selected Hum’s Alchemist Taxonomy platform to enhance content organization, discovery, and audience engagement across ASM’s 16 scientific journals.

ASM used Alchemist Taxonomy to build a custom taxonomy based on over 260,000 articles published in their journals. The taxonomy build took about two weeks. Alchemist Taxonomy then applied appropriate tags to every article in ASM’s back file, and will do so going forward for all future publishing.

Alchemist Taxonomy will integrate with ASM’s existing KriyaDocs workflow, delivering AI-generated tags directly to articles appearing on ASM’s publishing platform, which is Atypon. This seamless connection will enable ASM to automatically, consistently, and accurately categorize and tag their entire journals publishing corpus.

“ASM is committed to delivering the most valuable and accessible microbiology content to our global community of researchers and practitioners,” said David Haber, Director of Publishing Operations for the American Society for Microbiology. “Hum’s Alchemist Taxonomy offers us an opportunity to dramatically improve how we organize and present our content, enabling more precise discovery and recommendations for our members. The integration with our existing KriyaDocs and Atypon infrastructure was a critical factor in our decision, as it allows us to enhance our capabilities without disrupting established workflows.”

By implementing Alchemist Taxonomy, ASM aims to achieve several strategic objectives:

Establish consistent, accurate tagging across their entire content library
Improve content discoverability for researchers and practitioners
Gain deeper insights into audience interests and content performance
Streamline editorial workflows by automating previously manual tagging processes
Enable more targeted content recommendations and personalization

“Scientific societies typically spend months and hundreds of thousands of dollars creating custom taxonomies, and even then, application of those taxonomies consistently can be a challenge,” said John Challice, SVP of Business Development at Hum. “This is a role where the robots can do it faster, cheaper, and better. We’re pleased to be able to bring frontier AI into ASM’s existing workflows, and to have done so so quickly.”

SPARC to Become Independent Nonprofit Organization on June 1

June 3, 2025

Effective June 1, 2025, SPARC will officially transition from operating as a fiscally sponsored project of the New Venture Fund to an independent nonprofit organization. We have successfully incorporated SPARC as a charitable nonprofit organization in Washington, DC., and have filed for our 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. We expect that an IRS determination will take ~6-8 months; however, while we wait for final approval, SPARC can fully operate as a nonprofit organization with our tax-exempt status pending.

We have contracted with XcelHR, a professional employment organization (PEO), to provide HR, payroll, benefits, and compliance services. We’ve also secured accounting services and legal counsel for taxes and general operations.

Funds from our membership dues and some grants will be moved immediately to the new SPARC entity. However, while we wait for IRS approval, some funders require that grant funds be held by an organization with a current tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status. We have contracted with the Global Fairness Initiative (GFI) to hold these funds while we wait for IRS approval. This is GFI’s only role with SPARC; once our tax-exempt status is approved, we will terminate the contract with GFI and all funds will be moved to SPARC.

As an independent nonprofit, we are required to have a fiscal Board of Directors. An inaugural BOD (Emily Gore, Yasmeen Shorish, April Hathcock, and Heather Joseph) has been established to fulfill this role. The Steering Committee, elected by SPARC members, will continue with its current remit to shape SPARC’s strategies and priorities.

We will continue operating under our current Articles of Governance, which the inaugural BOD adopted to serve as our provisional Bylaws. Over the next few months, in consultation with the Steering Committee, we will review and revise the Bylaws to further ensure that they reflect best practices for community-led transparency and good governance and serve SPARC’s needs as an independent nonprofit organization. We expect to submit revised bylaws to the Steering Committee for ratification at its October meeting.

There will still be some work required over the next few months to fully complete the process, and we will continue to regularly evaluate the effectiveness of our operations. We do not expect that this transition will have a material impact on our member programs or services.

We’re very pleased with (and proud of) how this process has been executed, and are particularly grateful to the SPARC Steering Committee, Spin Out Subcommittee, and NVF Team for their support over the past 18 months. We are excited to be moving to this new chapter in SPARC’s evolution!

Clarivate and CAPES Expand Landmark Partnership to Power Research and Innovation Across Brazil

June 3, 2025

Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT), a leading global provider of transformative intelligence, today announced the renewal of its multi-year partnership with CAPES (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior), significantly expanding access to trusted Academia & Government and Life Sciences & Healthcare data across over 400 Brazilian institutions. As compared to the previous contract, the agreement increases institutional coverage by 57%, extending the reach of high-quality research tools to universities and research centers across Brazil — from major metropolitan areas to the country’s most remote regions.

As a key agency under Brazil’s Ministry of Education, CAPES plays a vital role in advancing postgraduate education, supporting high-level training, and fostering international scientific collaboration. A long-standing partner to CAPES, Clarivate began its collaboration with the agency in 2001, when the Web of Science became one of the first databases integrated into the CAPES Portal. This new agreement builds on that legacy, delivering enhanced access to solutions including Web of Science, Journal Citation Reports, Cortellis Drug Discovery Intelligence and Derwent Innovation Index.

By bringing together world-class data and insights from academic research and the life sciences and healthcare sectors, the agreement empowers researchers and practitioners at all levels — including scholars, policy advisors, biomedical scientists and healthcare professionals — to conduct innovative research, develop new treatments, improve patient care, and inform policy decisions. It provides broad access to critical information, advancing evidence-based discovery, education and decision-making across disciplines.

Matti Shem Tov, Chief Executive Officer, Clarivate, said: “This expanded partnership with CAPES is a powerful example of how strategic collaboration can accelerate research and innovation on a national scale. Brazil has made remarkable progress in advancing scientific excellence and global collaboration. We’re proud to support this momentum by providing trusted data, insights, and technology to researchers across the country — from early discovery through impact assessment. Our shared commitment to expanding access and fostering innovation will continue to shape the future of research in Brazil and beyond.”

Denise Pires de Carvalho, President, CAPES, said: “Brazil is experiencing a moment of growing scientific output beyond its major urban centers, with resources now being distributed in a more equitable and democratic way to boost productivity across all regions. This collaboration with Clarivate enables us to better understand the scientific production profile of Brazilian institutions and supports more informed investment decisions to reduce regional disparities, which remains a significant national challenge. Many researchers in the North, Northeast and Center-West have limited access to the resources needed to give visibility to their work and expanding that access can make a meaningful difference.”

The renewed partnership reflects a shared commitment to democratizing access to critical scientific information and enabling data-driven research excellence. Through Web of Science, Journal Citation Reports, and Derwent Innovation Index, academic institutions and government agencies gain deeper visibility into global research trends, publication impact, and innovation pathways — supporting policy development, institutional benchmarking, and scholarly advancement.

Complementing these capabilities, expanded access to Cortellis Drug Discovery Intelligence equips Brazil’s life sciences community — including postgraduate students, faculty, and biomedical researchers — with comprehensive insights across biology, pharmacology, and chemistry. From disease understanding and drug interactions to clinical studies and intellectual property, users can more efficiently navigate the full R&D lifecycle and accelerate decision-making in high-impact research areas.

By significantly expanding access to trusted research and innovation tools, this agreement supports CAPES’ mission to reduce regional disparities and foster inclusive academic excellence. Institutions from across Brazil — from leading urban universities to those in underserved and remote regions — can now leverage high-quality data to strengthen postgraduate programs, accelerate innovation, and elevate the global visibility of Brazilian research.

Clarivate values its collaboration with CAPES on this initiative to help shape a more connected, informed and future-ready research ecosystem across Brazil, and stands as a resource for academic consortia worldwide seeking to expand access to trusted research, data and insights.
