Speedy resolution in best interests of libraries and ensures
fair competition for both
LONDON, Nov. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate Plc
(NYSE: CLVT), a global leader in providing trusted information and
insights to accelerate the pace of innovation, today announced that
it has signed a settlement agreement and release with OCLC.
Clarivate continues to deny OCLCs allegations of wrong-doing and
maintains that the issue lay between OCLC and its customers, who
sought to co-create an efficient community platform for sharing of
bibliographic records. Clarivate will not develop a record exchange
system of MARC records that include records which OCLC has claimed
are subject to its policy and contractual limitations. Clarivate
will bear its own fees and costs.
Gordon Samson, Chief Product
Officer at Clarivate insisted, "Clarivate will continue to support
the goals of open research and data exchange - because we believe
it is the best way to make the process of research and learning
faster, more robust and more transparent. Regardless of business
model, when scholarly information is easily accessible and
shareable, the dots are easier to join, the connections are
explicit, and collaborations are more natural and meaningful. The
process of scientific discovery is faster, and it is easier to
ensure research integrity and reproducibility. We know that
navigating the transition to open research is important to our
customers, and we remain committed to helping them make that
transition as seamlessly as possible."
