The largest fundamental science agency in Europe will save €1.4 million annually by breaking free from Clavariate Analytics' commercial databases of references and citations.

Starting January 1st 2026, the CNRS will stop subscribing from the Web of Science, along with the Core Collection and Journal Citation Reports.

"We have worked for free to lock ourselves collectively into a paid system", one head of the CNRS explains - but no more! 🎉
