The online platform of the leading international academic publisher De Gruyter Brill is now available in WAYF via eduGAIN. The platform brings together electronic publications from De Gruyter and Brill and provides access to scholarly journals, e-books, as well as a wide range of online reference works and bibliographies within the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences.
Danish and North Atlantic research and educational institutions connected to WAYF and licensed with De Gruyter Brill 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 De Gruyter Brill’s platform, while still enabling students and staff to benefit from single sign-on in the browser to all web services accessed via the institution’s login system.
This simple and maintenance-free technical access to De Gruyter Brill’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 German sister organisation, DFN-AAI
Central Denmark Region is the first institution to take advantage of this opportunity for simple access to De Gruyter Brill. Other institutions wishing to make use of it simply need to contact their publishing representative at De Gruyter Brill and state that they would like single-sign-on for their users via DFN-AAI/eduGAIN. Please feel free to involve the WAYF Secretariat if assistance is needed.
