Introduction
All researchers, regardless of ability, need access to scholarly information. Clarivate is committed to providing all our users with a fully accessible experience for research, teaching and learning.
At Clarivate, we make every effort to ensure that our platforms, including Converis, can be used by everyone. Converis is developed with accessibility in mind and is evaluated against WCAG 2.2 Level AA requirements as part of our ongoing accessibility program.
Users of Converis should be able to:
- Navigate most of the web application using a keyboard only
- Navigate to most of the web application using a screen reader
- Experience a logical and consistent tab order for majority of the interactive elements
- Zoom in up to 200% using browser tools without text spilling off the screen.
- Programmatically determine the name, role, state, and value of most user interface components.
There may be some parts of this website that are not fully accessible:
- Some interface elements do not have clear programmatic labels, roles, or values, and some content lacks appropriate associations, which may make it difficult for assistive technologies to accurately interpret their purpose.
- Semantic HTML elements (such as buttons, links, and form controls) are not used consistently, increasing reliance on ARIA and reducing overall robustness for accessibility.
- Most buttons and links are clear, but some do not provide sufficient context or descriptive text, making their purpose unclear.
- Keyboard focus indicators are present but may be difficult to see on some interactive elements
- Horizontal scrolling may be required when content is zoomed to approximately 200%.
- Text can be magnified up to 200% without loss of functionality; however, some content may become disrupted at 400% magnification

How we tested this platform
The accessibility of Converis is a continual effort at Clarivate. Accessibility standards are built into our design, and style guides and included as part of requirements in our software development and quality assurance pipeline.
Converis code is checked for accessibility using a range of automated and manual checks including but not limited to:
- TPGI’s Color Contrast Analyzer
- Deque’s axe DevTools accessibility testing tool
- ANDI (Accessible Name & Description Inspector) tool
- Chrome Developer Tools
- HeadingsMap
- Keyboard-access manual testing and assessment
- NVDA (NonVisual Desktop Access).
Converis is tested on the latest versions of Chrome, and Edge, and on a Windows computer.
Accessibility testing is part of our ongoing development lifecycle in addition to annual reviews. The last full accessibility audit was conducted in 2026. The test was carried out internally at Clarivate.
