Clarivate Analytics looks to boost scientific innovation by acquiring start-up Kopernio

Clarivate Analytics has acquired UK based AI startup Kopernio, to address one of the major issues facing the research community today.

By using AI technology, Kopernio enables users to access journal articles using just one-click, saving researchers time and frustration when using their institutional subscriptions. If the user lacks the required subscription to access the content behind a paywall.

It is hoped that this partnership will reduce the number of journal articles shared across social networks and on the dark web.

As part of the acquisition, Jan Reichelt, co-founder of Kopernio will join Clarivate as Managing Director of web of science whilst also remaining chairperson of Kopernio.

Annette Thomas, CEO, Scientific & Academic Research division at Clarivate said of the deal, “The scale, reach and unique citation network of Web of Science, the world’s most trusted and largest publisher-neutral citation index and research analysis platform, combined with Kopernio’s researcher-facing product, will allow us to significantly increase access to research articles and provide novel solutions to the problems in research across the ecosystem.

It further establishes our commitment to develop world-class innovative products to address critical challenges in one of the most important fields our society relies on: science and research.“
