Logging into a Personal Account

When your site administrator enables Personal Accounts, Ovid displays a My Account link on the session bar.

Depending on your institution’s settings, you may be required to login with your personal account immediately when you access Ovid. Or, you may only need to login to your personal account to access selected functions. Functions which require personal account login are:

Saved Searches and Alerts
My Projects
Annotate items
Retention of customized displays and settings
Resource Groups
JBI SUMARI

Once you create an account, Ovid requires that you login to your Personal Account from your Ovid session when you click the:

Saved Searches/Alert link
Save Search History button
View Saved button
My Workspace Tab
a record's Annotation icon.

Ovid opens the Personal Account Login Page.

Follow these steps to log in:

Type your account ID.
Type your account password.
Click the Sign In button.

Alternatively, you can:

Create as many personal accounts as you need. However, you must remember all account IDs, passwords, and email addresses that correspond to individual personal accounts you create.

Ovid opens the Main Search Page within your Personal Account session.

Click the Forgot Account ID or Password link if you forgot your account ID or your password; the following page displays.

Ovid prompts you to log into your personal account to open a session if your site has session recovery enabled.
