What is happening?
ThomsonONE was retired from IU Libraries' list of databases on June 30, 2020.
Why is this happening?
ThomsonONE is considered a 'legacy' product by its owners, and was no longer being updated and maintained. As those who used this database know, it only worked on Internet Explorer (IE); a product which itself is being phased out by Microsoft. Thomson Reuters/Refinitiv are moving people to different platforms, but the best academic option, Refinitiv Workspace, is still in beta and has not been widely released.
Is there a replacement?
Much of the data available via ThomsonONE is available in other databases available to the IU community. We are also actively working to find alternatives. The analyst reports that can be found in ThomsonONE, for example, are currently available in Mergent Online under the Investext tab. Refinitiv (formerly the Thomson Reuters' Financial & Risk division) is also working on a new platform called Refinitiv Workspace, which should become available later this year. We are already working with Refinitiv to secure a trial of this product as soon as it becomes available.
What about my research?
As mentioned above, much of the data available in ThomsonONE is available elsewhere in our database offerings; see the table below. We are happy to help you find the data you need. Please email us or schedule a consultation for help.
