SeamlessAccess

SeamlessAccess is a service designed to help foster a more streamlined online access experience when using scholarly collaboration tools, information resources, and shared research infrastructure. The service promotes digital authentication leveraging an existing single-sign-on infrastructure through one's home institution, while maintaining an environment that protects personal data and privacy.

The direction and implementation for the service came from the RA21 Initiative, a joint project of the International Association of STM Publishers and the National Information Standards Organization. While the origin of the effort was in the scholarly publishing and library communities, the applicability of SeamlessAccess is for all parties that want to use federated identity as part of their authentication and authorization workflows.

Note: The institution(s) selected will be saved in browser local storage and will be made available to IEEE Xplore and other sites that use SeamlessAccess. No login, email or personal information is stored.
