Clarivate has been criticized for its anti-competitive practices in a highly oligopolistic academic database market, for increasing the prices of the products it acquired, for the lack of further development and integration of the acquired products, for not developing its own products, for outsourcing jobs from the US and UK to India, and for eliminating telephone support for many of the acquired products.{{cite book |doi=10.1515/9783110646610-005 |chapter=1.3 Eugene Garfield and the Institute for Scientific Information |title=Handbook Bibliometrics |year=2021 |last1=Pendlebury |first1=David A. |pages=27–40 |isbn=978-3-11-064661-0 |s2cid=235861751 }}{{cite book |doi=10.1201/9781315155890-2 |chapter=Web of Science: The First Citation Index for Data Analytics and Scientometrics |title=Research Analytics |year=2017 |last1=Schnell |first1=Joshua D. |pages=15–30 |isbn=978-1-315-15589-0 }}
