Hallo Davide,

could you please try to login to Journal Citation Reports or Essential Science Indicators instead of the main Insites site? That works without registration for us.

We had some discussions with Clarivate about the registration requirement when we moved to this platform, and if I remember correctly initially a registration was required for JCR and ESI but that was changed as a result of the discussions.

Note that this only applies to JCR and ESI, we don't have access to the main Incites site (at least not with an institutional login).

Best regards, Bernd

Hello everyone,

I've sent the message below to the FOG mailing list about Clarivate's InCites additional registration flow, but then some Colleagues suggested that FIM4L would have been a better venue for the topic.

I'm eager to have your opinions on the subject.

Regards, Davide

Hello everyone,

some IdP admins and Librarians alerted us about Clarivate's InCites requiring an additional users registration after the Institutional login. The flow is similar to what Elsevier introduced in sciencedirect, but then rolled back, last year:

• it starts on https://incites.clarivate.com
• a user select "Sign in" and then "Institutional (Shibboleth) Sign In"
• once the authN flow is finished, the user is requested to register an

email address and then to set a password to access InCites

As in the case of Elsevier, the above has not been anticipated in any way from Clarivate, which so far was letting users in with just a transient nameid and ePSA.

Regards, Davide
