Researchers and Students

We recommend accessing via your institution's library portal in the first instance, since your library has already determined their preferred method of authentication for access to our content.

If your institution or Federation does not appear on the search tool that results please ask your library to contact Emerald Customer Support to enable Shibboleth access to our platform.

If your password / log in details are invalid, please contact your institution's library service for assistance.

Library Administrators
If your institution is a member of the supported federations, but your institution isn't listed in the search bar, please fill out the below Federated Access Request Form and return it to Emerald Customer Support and we will add your IdP to your account.

If you do not see your federation on this list, please indicate the federation and institution name, and that you’d like to enable Shibboleth or OpenAthens institutional support. Emerald will then contact the federation directly to enable federated access for their members.
