Clarivate

Bibliometrics and scientometrics; business/market intelligence and competitive profiling for pharma and biotech, patents and regulatory compliance, trademark protection, domain, and brand protection are just some of the subscription-based services offered by Clarivate Plc, a British-American publicly traded analytics company.

Clarivate, which operates the Web of Science product family and includes services/applications including Publons, EndNote, EndNote Click, and ScholarOne, is well-known in academic and scientific circles as the organization determining the impact factor. In addition to its many ProQuest offerings, the company also provides the Cortellis, DRG, CPA Global, Derwent, MarkMonitor, CompuMark, and Darts-ip product lines.

In 2016, Onex Corporation and Baring Private Equity Asia acquired the Intellectual Property and Science Business from Thomson Reuters, forming Clarivate. Since its inception five years ago, Clarivate has expanded rapidly through acquisitions, purchasing more than a dozen businesses in the information services sector (see below).

Antitrust concerns were raised when Clarivate bought out enterprises that competed with each other. The most egregious example is Clarivate's 2017 acquisition of ProQuest, a competitor to Clarivate's Web of Science, for $5.3 billion.
