The University of Utrecht is canceling the #WebOfScience and offering training sessions on #OpenAlex.
https://www.uu.nl/en/news/access-to-web-of-science-will-end-on-1-january-2026

"Discontinuing Web of Science is a logical step that fits in with the UU vision on #OpenScience. Closed commercial databases, such as Web of Science, are not in line with our desire to work with open research information as much as possible. The UU signed the #BarcelonaDeclaration in 2024 to this effect. The use of Journal Impact Factors [#JIFs] is also not in line with our vision of Open Science…With the funds freed up by not renewing the licence, we will continue to invest in open source research and infrastructure."
