Before getting started
Questions
and answers.
About proposal scope, access, implementation and product limitations.
Can we purchase one product without a comprehensive project?
Yes. We can discuss an individual subscription or a standalone service. Selection, setup, training and ongoing support are included in the proposal to the agreed extent.
Can we see the product or get trial access first?
You can start by requesting a demonstration. Trial availability, duration and terms depend on the rights holder and organisation type and must be agreed separately.
What determines the price?
The product and collection content, organisation type and size, number of users, subscription duration and licensing terms. Services and additional work are described separately. The site does not calculate a final price.
How is access arranged off campus?
The access method depends on the product and your organisation’s infrastructure. During selection, we discuss institutional network access, personal accounts and supported remote authentication options. We do not promise compatibility in advance.
Does a DOI guarantee a journal’s inclusion in international databases?
No. A DOI is a persistent publication identifier. Inclusion in research databases is assessed under the respective organisations’ own criteria.
Does the similarity percentage mean a work contains plagiarism?
Not on its own. The report shows matching text. A responsible specialist must review the nature of the matches, citations and context under the established procedure.
Does CARM replace Web of Science or InCites?
No. CARM is a separate Clever Consult product with its own purposes and data sources. Access does not include licences for other companies’ products. We discuss a suitable combination based on your questions.
Are training and support automatically included in a subscription?
Their scope, format and extent are specified in the proposal. During discussions, we identify user groups, required sessions and the process for handling enquiries.
