WAYF has today welcomed another member of The Big Five into the fold: British Medical Journal (BMJ), the independent medical journal that combines research, journalism and critical debate to promote evidence-based, ethical and responsible medicine on a global scale. BMJ’s online platform provides access to a wide range of peer-reviewed medical research, clinical cases and learning tools, together with features for searching, reading, following and saving relevant medical knowledge online.
Danish and North Atlantic research and educational institutions connected to WAYF and licensed with BMJ therefore have the opportunity to allow their students and staff to access the platform using their familiar institutional login – without each institution having to carry out any technical integration. With WAYF, institutions also do not need to spend resources maintaining a separate connection to BMJ’s platform, while still enabling students and staff to benefit from single sign-on in the browser to all online services accessed via the institution’s login system.
This simple and maintenance-free technical access to BMJ’s online platform has been made possible through the international academic login collaboration eduGAIN – through which WAYF has enabled users with accounts at WAYF institutions to access the platform via our British sister organisation, the UK Access Management Federation (“UKAMF”).
Regions Central Denmark and Zealand are the first institutions to take advantage of this opportunity for simple access to BMJ. Other institutions wishing to make use of it simply need to contact their publishing representative at BMJ and state that they would like single-sign-on for their users via UKAMF/eduGAIN.
