Thieme Account

What is the Thieme Account?

The Thieme Account is your personal user profile for all Thieme digital products. You can view and manage your personal information, redeem access codes, unlock journals, and link it with your organization's account. To personalize your use of digital products - such as creating notes and playlists, setting up alerts, or similar features - registering for a Thieme Account is required.

My organizations and remote access

You can link your Thieme account to your organization to gain access to its licenses and resources. This link is temporary. To ensure continued access, you must either be within your organization’s IP network or authenticate via Shibboleth.

Organization Recognition

How it works:

Make sure we have correctly identified your organization. This depends on the authentication method your organization uses. Check whether you are connected to your organization’s IP network or VPN, or authenticate via Shibboleth, an access link, or the Society Link. Once your organization has been successfully recognized, its name will be displayed on the homepage of all Thieme products.

IP Authentication

If you are connected to your organization’s IP network or VPN, your affiliation will be automatically recognized when you access a Thieme product. Once you log into your personal Thieme account, your organization will be displayed under "My Organizations," where you can manually activate remote access.

Shibboleth / OpenAthens

Shibboleth and OpenAthens are authentication methods primarily used by educational institutions and libraries to enable secure access to online resources.

How it works:

  1. On the login screen for personal access, click the "Login via Shibboleth/OpenAthens" button.

  2. Select your organization and confirm by clicking "Proceed to Login." You will be redirected to your organization’s login page, where you can authenticate with your credentials.

  3. After successful authentication, you will be redirected back to the Thieme product, and your organization will be recognized.

  4. When you log into your personal Thieme account, your organization will appear under "My Organizations," allowing you to manually activate remote access.

Access Link / Society Link

With an access link or a so-called Society Link, you can directly access a Thieme product, and your organization will be automatically recognized. The link contains a unique identifier used for authentication. After logging into your personal Thieme account, your organization will be displayed under "My Organizations," where you can manually activate remote access.

Activating Remote Access

Once your organization has been successfully recognized, you can link your Thieme account to it. This grants you access to the organization’s licenses without needing to authenticate via IP, Shibboleth, or an access link each time. Remote access is valid for 180 days. If you authenticate again via IP, Shibboleth, or an access link within this period, proving your continued affiliation, the remote access will automatically be extended for another 180 days.

Automatic Activation

Remote access is automatically enabled when you register for a Thieme account after your organization has been successfully recognized.

How it works:

  1. Access a Thieme product and ensure that your organization has been successfully recognized. This depends on the authentication method your organization uses (IP, Shibboleth, or an access link/Society Link).

  2. Click "Create New Account" on the login screen and complete the registration process.

  3. Your organization will now be displayed under "My Organizations" in your Thieme account. Remote access is active. If needed, you can manually disable it using a button.
Manual Activation

How it works:

  1. Access a Thieme product and ensure that your organization has been successfully recognized. This depends on the authentication method your organization uses (IP, Shibboleth, or an access link/Society Link).

  2. Log into your Thieme account using your email address and password.

  3. In your Thieme account, under "My Organizations," you will see your organization listed. From there, you can manually activate remote access.

Extending Remote Access

Remote access is limited to 180 days. You will receive an email notification 14 days before it expires. If you authenticate again via IP, Shibboleth, or an access link within this period, confirming your continued affiliation with the organization, your remote access will be automatically extended for another 180 days.

If the 180-day period has already expired, automatic renewal is no longer possible. In this case, you must follow the steps outlined above to activate remote access again.

My Products

Under "My Products," you will find an overview of all the products you have either personally licensed or can access through your organization’s affiliation.
